I'm not far away either but I'm not a member of a club...I do know that the Conway one seems to be quite active, seen them displaying their work in the Conway Civic Hall quite often and it's the largest photographic society in North Wales

Just revisiting a few recent shots to try-out a couple of B&W conversions as it's something I've never really had much of a go with, not really sure if this one works though, C&C appreciated

IMHO Sigma 17-70 will serve you very well, I've always been impressed with mine & to be honest I can't see the justification for price of the Pentax equivalent....if you want something wider in future the Sigma 10-20 compliments the 17-70 nicely, although it suffers poor sample variation so you need to check your copy !!

It's quite possible that sample variation is common on kit lenses, considering their cost maybe not too much time is spent on QC. I must admit my 18-55 was very poor & spoilt my move from Prosumer to DSLR a while ago..fortunately I replaced it with a Sigme 17-70 & the capabilities of the camera became impressively evident

thanks for the comments, both shots were taken around F5.8 & at 300mm...I was quite a distance from both

I'll have a go with the Gaussian blur

Great light rays, the shot shows quite a bit of noise, especially as you only used Iso 200 - have you processed it to drken the shadows ?

Had a look at the original raw of this one & the red object is plant-life, definitely not a plant pot anyway - can't imagine anyone brave enough to go into that enclosure to "pot their plants"

Had a trip to the Welsh Mountain zoo near Llandudno today, this guy didn't seem too happy with me pointing the camera his way
