4 and 8 for me.
Super shooting on these.
You have managed your flash output really well here.
You have knocked out the background in 4 where it suits it, and not in others where it wouldn't have.
👏👏👏

Ahh what a set,
Sure where else could you have been 😆😆😆
Sometimes I think people just went with whatever paint was on special offer at the time 😂😂😂
really well captured, and I hope your stay was enjoyable and that you felt welcome, hopefully you might get to return and see more of our bright and colourful villages and towns.

The first 4 just jump out for me,
The convergence in #1 is is perfect, that you have framed it as you have, by cutting out the foreground and lower part of the buildings just add to the over all effect. Makes you think.

I've always been a big fan of your shooting style / styles, that you can see something in isolation, out of context, from its environment, while still being in it, is stunning.
Looking forward to seeing more ☺☺☺

No,
but you bought yours off me, a good while ago.
This does also come with padded case.
And price drop to a more reasonable £400 incl delivery.

Nice set.
Don't worry too much about panning. No one starts off shooting really slow shutter speed panning shots.
It's only a case of practice.
For me I just plant my feet, in a nice comfortable wide stance, and swivel at the waist/ hips
It's possible to get good shots at really slow speeds , but I can't get them.
1/60th is about as slow as I can go and still be happy with some of the shots.
But 1/80th or 1/100th gives me more keepers.
A really simple basic mistake I frequently made at the start was, locking focus at start of pan, but not firing till towards the end of pan, result, car out of focus.
Now I repeatedly lock focus as I pan and when I'm happy that my swivel speed matches car speed i fire off a few shots.

For sale is my excellent condition sigma art lens.
It comes boxed with front and rear caps, hood
And sigma dock.
Asking £500 ono incl UK postage

Nice
Never heard of them. Lovely shape.

Cheers guys,
It's a combo I'll definitely try to regain,
I honestly can't praise the Samyang enough.
I left the lens wide open apart from the 2 bird shots, which were f2.4 for bif a little ambitious
And f2.8 for the gull on the handrail.
It kind of makes you think about how shots will look with that rapid focus falloff
I loved it.
If anyone spots one for sale, used, let me know.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Sweet 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Here are a few from my walk with the K1 and samyang 135mm f2.
