Exactly right IMO.

Thanks Smeggy, Gary and Iqbal. Gary, coming from a gig-photography expert such as yourself, that comment has made my day!

I like the first shot, with the dark tree reflection revealing the lady's face through the glass, very much indeed.

Pietrach I am toying with the idea of selling my Sigma 10-20. But I am finding it hard to let it go, for the same reasons you want to get one!

As an alternative to a sky, which creates the fantasy effect because ... you would never see a sandcastle with sky behind it! ... you could try patching in to a shot taken at a similar angle and focal length down on the beach.

Nice shots, good light for this sort of thing. I love the cheeky grinning farmer!

No it's the SMC one.

A good opportunity to give my new K135mm f2.5 a spin on Saturday, as the city centre was overtaken with performances and art related shenanigans. And the usual street preachers

All images with the K135mm wide-open with the camera in Av mode, exept one which was taken with the DA15mm Ltd.

I'm really pleased with what the 135mm delivered. Next time I will go into machine gun mode a bit more, as focussing was a bit tricky and a lot of shots were a bit out.

The location for no.2 looks familiar... it's where I park my car! I like the contra lighting but perhaps cropping the bottom might balance up the composition. Nice light in no.3, and no.4 has potential but you have framed the shot too high IMO, cropping through too much of the guy's legs.

It's a nice shot, and sharper in the full size version
