Excellent set,
Works really well, as much for their disparate qualities as their common thread.
Well conceived and executed.

First one is just gorgeous,
As is 7, Works so well, within the set as a whole.
Keep them coming.

As it's around black Friday Time, price drop to £320
It really is in mint condition
Bought off another forum member.
Excellent lens, just not for my type of shooting.

Some really nice shots in there Rob,
I think part of the issue with courses like that is that it's not being run by the tutors, with little or no communication between tutors and organisers.
There are 5 or 6 really good landscape photographers over here that run tours and courses, the one thing they seem to have in common is their love of photography and a passion for sharing their knowledge.
They run ad campaigns on social media and it seems to work for them. Not heard of any gripes about them.
They do take their own shots too but the emphasis is definitely on the participants.
Try not to let the experience put you off trying again, or maybe hook up with a smaller group of like minded photographers, and learn from each other.
Great shooting regardless 👍👍👍

I very much like these,
Nearly all has been said already,
So I'll just add, the last few isolation shots are cracking.
Great set, and pp is spot on

Never seen tubes with an A setting.

My 180mm Sigma macro has an aperture ring Derek ...
Erm I somehow or another can't see you letting that beauty go for €595 Mike.

Cracking shots,
4 and the icm stand out for me,
I do like them all,
Can't help but feel the 3rd is cropped too tight at the top, would be a cracker for me if there was a little more room at the top.
Super shooting 👏👏👏

If it's as sharp and good as I expect it will be, that's a cracking price.
(To me anyway)
Release date is in December
I'd think that the main issue for you will be the lack of an aperture ring
You had to go and spoil it, didn't you 😁
Guess it's back to tubes so 🙄🙄🙄
