It is very refreshing to see such vibrant work as this, unfortunately it is in an area that very few people pass through. I would like to see work like this on the grey walls of city center tower blocks.

A couple of weeks ago graffiti artists were invited by Wakefield council to use a cycle path/walkway beneath the M1 nr Wakefield. Here are there efforts, impressive work IMHO.

A couple with the fish-eye first.

I think the next few are with the Pentax 28mm prime.

A very cold day yesterday at the YSP. Conditions there are very muddy underfoot and many areas are fenced off. Terrible conditions after the very wet winter also the light yesterday was gloomy at best. Mostly used the Samyang 8mm fisheye. Am constantly surprised by the quality of this cheap fisheye. The green bud shot was with the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8.

First with the Fisheye.

The contrast and bokeh from the Siigma always impresses me.

Congrats on the new cam, you will enjoy for sure. Hold the menu button in as you power on the camera, the software version no. will appear on the rear screen. You can download the latest version here, it is 1.14 follow the instructions closely in the manual.

Agree with the above comments,I feel it would have been better if the boat was turned 180 degrees and was pointing into the shot.

A rare lens like that going at that price. I would want £700 for mine.

Thanks for the comments people.

Haven't been out with the cam for ages this winter or really posted on here, work and home life pressure and stress. Anyway here are a couple I have caught recently.

The shot below did appear on our regional news program Calendar, although I cropped it from this almost pano shot to a 16:9 ratio for the TV.

I like them all, the first shot though I think he needs a dirty face, soot or oil maybe.
