weird.. kind of makes my eyes go wobbly :lol: Cool ***.. I like using reflections.. can get some great effects.

Have you tried a polariser? I know they're normally used to reduce reflections, but if you set them to 90 degrees away from where you would normally have it set to reduce them, it will actually increase reflections slightly. Remember Polarisers will not work with metallic objects ***.

Pook I dont yet have a polariser for this lense as its a different thread size to my other and it was a toss up between walk about the waterfront or a walk to Jessops! Seeing as the sun was out I went for the waterfront! I do know what you mean *** and I will be investing in one very shortly (expensive stuff these new lenses :( )

Hmmm. Didn't stop at Capn. Jasper's on your way round the corner, did you? [smilie=t:

Very interesting shot! As for the polarising filter, why not get a Cokin 'P' system and some filters from 7dayshop? That way, all you'll need to get are the adaptor rings...

I was contemplating a "Half a yard" hotdog but alas time was against me only having an hour for lunch :(

I actually have the Jessops equivalant of the Filter Holder but not the right size adapter ring, will be off lunchtime today to invest in a new adapter :)
