went for a wander in the rain a couple of days ago. it got everywhere and affected most of the shots. in some it looks ok, in others it needs clearning up, here's a fair sized bunch to share.

this is my fav. 10.5mm fish

similar shot with the sigma 10mm to show the difference

i wonder if this is what it's like to be a grouch in the uk? sigma 10mm (stank of wee)

Excellent series. Really love the black and white feel coupled with the really wide angle / fish eye. Excellent stuff.

but it was raining in my defence.

So it might have been ... and outside ... but rain ... in a subway ??? :Ponders: Surely just an excuse to look like you belong ... :laugh1:

And in danger of being arrested too ... :whistle2:

Oh ... and a great set of shots resulting too - TFS ! :thumb:

See you weren't alone then ... very wise !:smilenod:

cheers all, thanks for the comments.

pete: your 10-20 shots inspred me to finally do it and buy the sigma so thanks for the compliments, means a lot.

and DJW, you're right it was pretty worrying at times, esp with the scallies about but then i bought a nice camera and i'm damn sure gonna use it, sure helps to have a good mate back you up *** :) again, thanks for the comments.

Ven: comedy as always, that night i did belong ;) and thankyou

cheers ed34 :)

As said....excellent series of shots. I would have been very wary of possible conflict.

It's surprising how much distortion the fisheye add over the 10mm. I thought fisheye just meant very wide.
noah

nope, it full of distorted goodness. here's a another from that night which shows it well...

Great shots, first is a brilliant, and the hoodie is quite good. I applaude your confidence to just go out and get the shots, I think I'd be spending 10 minutes watching my back for every second I looked through the viewfinder:thumb:

Also makes the Sigma 10-20 look like an absolute bargain:clap:

Great shots. Nice that you did the comparison between the fish eye and the wide angle lens.

Hey, just noticed you're Cardiff/Bristol based Noah, where were these taken?
noah
10-03-2006, 19:58
these are from cardiff, by the museum and city hall. i'd like to have a go in bristol but the scally-at-night factor is even larger there ;)
SammyC
10-03-2006, 20:07
Yup, don't even dare walk down the subways in the daytime in Brissol!

Excellent set Noah.

I particularly like the bin shot and the perspective it gives.

Good stuff there. All it needs to be perfect is a 'Multiple' from 1PARA patrolling down the tunnel....


:embarasse I really must get my 'green' head off...:smilenod:
