What a great set, love the skyscraper shots. I don't mind the processing on number three but the angles feel a little uncomfortable to view.

I hope you and the caravan came out OK, that happened to some friends a few year back, the left wheel locked on the A20 in rush hour. The caravan was trashed, they were left OK but shaken.

You have to listen to some ELO Stefan I don't think they took themselves seriously, a good pick-me-up if you don't want something to intense.

The fish were going down so quickly you can probably see the lump in its neck.

I really like this, what a bizarre idea, very well executed! Who needs expensive ND filters? I would perhaps use the skew tool to make it completely symettrical but I guess the tree in the background precludes total symettry.
This was the first time I have used a lens this wide, you have to consider the shot so much more, line distortion, little kids balloons and so on. I can see it could take a bit of getting used to. This lens is now on the top of my I want list.

Nice shot Helen, thought it would be nice and sharp. I have not figured out how to link from Flickr since they changed the layout ether, you used to be able to do it from view all sizes.

Don't for get it is the tall ships race at Hartlepool next weekend, not sure If I will make it though.

This is an experimental shot I took using Anthony's Sigma 10-20 lens with some welders glass attached to an old filter bezel on front. This made an inspired economy big stopper, and allowed a 30 seconds long exposure. The final result out of the can was unsurprisingly green, a bit of desaturation later this is the result.
