Ah, a City I used to spend a lot of time in when I was in my late teens and early 20's. I went back there about a year ago and not much has outwardly changed.

A nice collection, Aura, well done

Edit: Just realised I've got some shots from last year, I'll try and upload a couple...

Further edit: Having looked, I've got shots that are mainly the same as yours, but there are a few different ones...

My two least used are the 10-17mm Fish Eye and the Sigma 170-500. Of the two, I use the Sigma more, but for particular applications like wildlife or airshows. I've been meaning to sell/swap/PX the 10-17 for a while but never seem to get round to it - I don't really understand ebay...

I feel the trees in the first one add something to the image but I might have been tempted to omit the one on the high right* but in the second the prominence of the main one engulfs the chimneys.

*Depending on the local terrain, for all we know this was the best angle there was...

The snow plough manages to look ugly and beautiful at the same time, a great perspective!

I believe that is correct. As my little bit of cyberspace isn't used commercially, there is a means of enabling people to contact me should they wish to but any transactions are done in the real world. Whilst there are many obvious advantages to having a presence on the web, there are quite a few chalked up for not putting everything out there...

My hosting site hide personal details automatically, anyone doing a "whois" will only find their contact information.

Personally, I prefer to use primes for portrait work but then I don't generally have to hurry as the work is planned to a degree. I've heard pretty good things about the 1.8, why not hire one and see how you get on?

A place I've wanted to go to for many years and you posting images has not helped any!

I really like 1 4 & 5, pity about the lighting upstand in 4, but appreciate you could do little about it.

They all look fine to me - it's a great lens, I won't part with mine!

The WR is a 49mm and the non-WR is a 52mm - I've got them both in front of me. I can't say I've noticed any real difference in optics, but then again it has been some time since I've used the non-WR version. The WR is a constant in the general kit-bag

Edit: Just been and weighed them - both bare (no caps, filters etc) the Non-WR comes in at 258g and the WR at 288g on my trusty set of scales.
