Very interesting shot and must have been amazing to witness. Excellent capture.

Cheers folks - there are probably only a couple more that are worth putting up. I'm pleased with the response to these as I was on a bit of a downer before I went.

Cheers folks - appreciate the compliments.

There are a few more that I'll put up in a bit. Just a bit busy this afternoon.

I have got one of the boy where he's a shadow in about three places on the picture

Thanks Barrie.

By the way - one with your Samsung 12-24 at dawn this morning. Haven't played with colours at all, just decreased clarity slightly. A nice lens mate and thank you for the safe delivery.





Thanks K10D

Big problem was the weather - knocking on 100 every day. No clouds in the sky and almost white with haze. No good for a pale blue Scotsman.

Pleased you picked out the second one. It was a handheld bracketed (5 shot) exposure with the DA18-250 and none of them were particularly fast at around 1/6th (and it was after a couple of nice beers and a 500 mile drive). Really happy with the way it turned out. A nice travel lens that one.

Sigma 10-20 also sold.

No4 for me as well. Superb but has to be the colour version.

Thanks John and Crossed-Up

I think it was the frustration I felt at being surrounded by so many amazing possibilities and being aware of my 'duties' as Dad. The thunderstorm was as we were leaving a restaurant a couple of hundred yards from the campsite. Never tried to catch a lightning strike before and it was fun trying.

I'd also liked to have done the old Brenner Pass road under the modern motorway. Bavaria is the place though. We stayed in Fussen about 2 miles from Neuschwanstein Castle. I'd love to have a go at that in winter.

Had a very enjoyable drive across France, stop off in Lucerne and then onto Lake Garda, before heading off up the Brenner Pass, into Austria and an overnighter in Bavaria before a long drive up to Calais and home. Unfortunately the car was locked in overnight at Garda and couldn't get out for dawn. Not a hell of a lot to photograph during my dawn wanders. Bavaria was beautiful but with the kids in tow and only one day there it was impossible to get out. Looked an amazing spot for dawn mists with white churchs reflected in Lakes. Unfortunately it wasn't to be. I managed to take a selection of holiday snaps from other spots so prepare to be bored.

To update I have received full price offers for the 16-45 and the 28. The way I will conduct sales is fairly simple. The first person on each occasion to offer the full asking price will be sold the lens.
