I have always said the 18/55 was a much underestimated lens!....and these shots show what it is capable of, my Mk1 is every bit as good as my 16/45!.......

I actually use my 18-55 a lot, tight budget and all that. So I have just picked one of the latest.

Nice shot techno, but it would be better if you could crop it to get the horizon level.

Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Do you mean cropping in from the sides? The sea horizon looks level when I load it into photoshop.

No, actually the straighten tools shows a lean to the right.
This is the corrected version. Run through PS Elements to straighten the horizon and than put through PT lens to correct barrel distortion.

Also notice the better colour reproduction when you save the picture in the sRGB colour space. The colour, specially noticeable in the sky looks more open.

Thanks for the help guys, I will have to play around with colour modes more often and find a barrel distortion plug-in for CS3.

Thanks again Graham

Thanks K10D!
He's not much of a smiler so I was chuffed with this one.

Here's another I took with the kit lens last winter from my bedroom window. It's very different but I like the way the lady with the brolly has a kind of 'ghostly' appearance.
