Thanks Nigel! There are two versions of shot one; I chose the one with more dof as it shows more of the building behind! You may be right though. I'll post the other version if i get time.

A lovely spot not far from where I live! Went with the aim of picking up some inspiration for a landscape scheme I am working on, so took pictures to assist with that. Straight out of camera JPG, all Tamron 17-50, K30. [Google+ may have done some auto enhancing on some]...

Wow. Not just a great photographer, but a visionary IMHO! His landscape images are as close as I've seen photos come to abstract impressionism. Thanks so much for the introduction.

I did try a wee crop Robert, and yes, I did lighten the shadows up a touch. But hopefully not so much that it kills the mood.

I feel it still needs more room to the left though.

Looks an excellent lens! Nice pics.

Agree with cropping out some of the stuff in the top right corner, but the square crop is a crop too far for me. I think you need some 'negative space' around the flower.

I do have an old Ewa Marine housing which I bought a year ago, intending to use for snorkelling. It was designed for 35mm SLRs so will not take a huge lens. A K5 and wide angle prime would work though.

I haven't really used it so would happily sell for what I paid for it - £40.

Unfortunately though it's at my mum's house up in Derbyshire!

Having moved to Bristol, this now counts as a local spot. Must pop over!

It looks lovely. I much prefer that to the silver version.

Oops... do you use it on a monthly basis, Andrew?

Agree with most of the comments - the Tamron is a very nice lens, easily sharp enough at f2.8. I liked the old 16-45, but it needed stopping down for best performance, which doesn't really suit my needs.
