Went out to see if I could get a shot of the aurora last night, highest place for miles (Billinge), dark country lane with a clear view across fields, nothing

I'll try again tonight

I agree with Matts comments about people learning to corner properly, in fact, learn to drive properly

Car scrappage. yeah, croc of sh*te, think of all the waste and polution that caused, do politicians really think anything through first

I knew someone with a SMART, engine died after 60k, so they bought another That can't be good for the environment

Oh, and I drive a Peugeot 306 Diesel, 47mpg, goes great and handles well

I'd agree with this, I certainly wouldn't be buying a new body with Photokina just around the corner.

Lovely set of images, particularly like 1 and 2, that new Sigma seems to be doing a great job. I think with the 10-20 it's more perspective than distortion. I'm surprised you didn't use the KX for these, or did you not have it at the time.

AFAIK +/-10 is as far as it will go. My DA 16-50 is -6 @ 28mm. It may be worth performing a focus test at approximately half way through the zoom range as it may vary at different focal lengths.

That's Landies fot'ya, why would a Discovery owner be a member of the Ducati Owners Club?

Hi thoramay

Unlikely, charm is not one of my strengths

Thanks for the comments, it was a very enjoyable event despite the weather and so informative, I just wish I could listen and take shots at the same time
