Stunning conversion / comp.

Then again at a couple of quid it's a risk worth taking! Rather than buying ND filters for £50 and finding you don't use them very often.

On the whole, no, in my opinion!

There was an interesting interactive drawing exhibit, and a fascinating short film. The rest was fluff. Lots of interactive / community participation art, which is nice but doesn't really stimulate the parts of your brain that good art can, nothing to stop you in your tracks. Great space though, and still worth a visit. I would like to try Walsall Art Gallery now as the art work there is supposed to be more serious and the building is gorgeous.

I don't think the Which? camera test reports are really worth paying any attention to. I had a look at one and found there was very little in depth or objective data.

As far as IS is concerned, I doubt there is that much difference between the models. In-body IS is said to be a shade less effective than lens based IS, but it still works well, and what is more, works with every lens.

Now we're talking! Thanks iberg.

The Public's exterior:




And interior (this is the toilets!):

No that's a good comment! I was a bit ambivalent about the chimney, but couldn't get low enough to exclude it from the shot. So I thought I'd try and include it and possibly link it to the tree trunk shadow to create an awkward juxtaposition.

What really drew me was the shadow, and the way the fence divided the frame with shadow below and clouds above.

Went to The Public today (the new art gallery). More shots of that to come, but I was most pleased with some pictures I took of an old fence...

Do these work? Which composition do you prefer?

Cheers

Shot 3 is a beaut!

Street preachers are another option!
