That's true David. You invested heavily in the lens and therfore your photography with it deserves the same amount of investment, or invested time. Just have fun while doing it, regardless of the results.I'm not yet where I'd like to be with shooting the Noct... but I think it's worth the effort to try and improve. A couple from a recent walk...
Hi Bart - you could certainly be right - I was undecided, so I went for the nearest.Love the poppy heads shot, Jono.
However, I'd have tried also aiming for the 'second row' ...
All the very best.
Simon: +1 on that last one. You couldn't have asked for a simpler, more elegant, arrangement of fallen trees to "frame' the moving water.Simon - these are fine - I especially like the last one.
Excellent . . . . how will the lens do on the Nex7 then!
all the best
Jono: I like this last one. I keep trying for a shot like this. Getting the right focus points and enough IF to draw the eye's a trick. :thumbup:Lots of rain today - and some sparkling light afterwards.
Here are a few shots from a garden we went to today.
all the best
Thank you Matt . . . and welcome to the thread too. I think that Bart's point with the poppies related to the same thing - and that I've been better to focus on the second row.Jono: I like this last one. I keep trying for a shot like this.

Cheers, Matt
A walk in the dark.

Here I was moving around trying to get the branch of leaves more into a single plane so that more was in focus.
all the best
Jono: Thanks! It's a car driving towards me.Maybe the first two are part of the same issue, and I don't like them as much as this one - which is lovely - with the mysterious yellow blob in the background - excellent.
Jono: These are lovely. Beautiful sky in the first. I'm always partial to Hollyhocks. :thumbup:Oh! I got so wet today - you can see what was coming here;
the first sign of catastrophe was the Polish ponies galloping for the trees - then came the hail and rain - okay if you're togged up in waterproofs and wellies . . not so good in walking boots and shorts!
Here are a couple more
Thank you Joed - It's becoming an obsession!The swan is charming in its delicate setting.
And in the second set the brilliant poppies
with yellow echoes in the distance are delightful.
Thanks for sharing your fun and imagination.
