Thanks Ed. No, I didn't use a polarizer. It takes a great deal of care to get away with that on a lens this wide, and really restricts my freedom to compose(IMO). I reached this conclusion long ago after getting too many half-dark skies. I do always carry one though, sometimes it's just the ticket. If you're referring to #2 above, it's just this shot with some curve-pulling:Very nice, Dave. I like the dramatic skies! Did you use a polarizer?
Thank You. Yes, sometimes you can get surprising results depending on composition. No lens/distortion corrections on this or any of the others BTW, just the tweaks mentioned above. I love playing with perspective/lens distortion and removing it is something I rarely consider.very nice indeed! I would have never thought the sundial pic was with a fisheye.
Thanks Simon, BTW I love both of your snow pics. I went out just after sunrise this morning but the expected snow on Mount Hamilton was gone.Nice work Dave, I especially like the one with the crates (#8). How are you getting the geoencodding?
Here is one more from the same stroll as the last one. Exif should be intact.
Cheers,
Simon
You have a great style! Really like this one too. Is that with the Sony 16mm?
I have been thinking about the Next too but still in doubt because the great investment in adapters for my MF lenses. And also I am afraid I need an EVF, the old men's great help.
I am still shooting with the G1 and am hanging to the GH2, although with the price difference I could buy myself quiet some adapters.
Well may be I wait a little more.

Sorry? what was that you said?Seriously - if you shoot bands you need earplugs for your hearing's sake.:lecture:
These are wonderful - just done the slide show - not sure if they look like the big time but the photographer does - the one with the audience clapping, the cymbal over the head - all splendid stuff:salute::salute:A couple from a gig for the launch of a debut single last week:
I used the A900 and 50/1.7, 85/2.8 and 16mm fisheye for crowd shots.

Hi Jono, Glad you liked them (the photos anyway), I have to admit that I am biased as the vocalist and songwriter is my niece Grace, and the guitarist is my nephew Charlie.These are wonderful - just done the slide show - not sure if they look like the big time but the photographer does - the one with the audience clapping, the cymbal over the head - all splendid stuff:salute::salute:
