cheers for the comments much appreciated! Durham looks very good in the snow!

Hi everyone! This is my first attempt in the snow - also still experimenting with my newish tokina 12-24 and getting some nice wide angles! All comments and criticism welcome! Merry christmas! Simon 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Good advise! I am wondering about a longer lens myself to go with my tokina 12-24 for wide, and my canon 28-135 IS for walk around. But I thought the 55-250 would be a bit on the short side, as I would like to use my long lens for motorsport. How would a canon 70-300 or 75-300 compare? Or are...

My Tokina 12-24 and canon 400D combination is making incredibly sharp images that I am really amazed with! Only had it a week but really excited by the results, which are very obviously sharp even on the camera's LCD screen when reviewing images. The problem is my Canon 28-135 IS just doesnt...

you should definitely check out the tokina 12-24 or the 11-16, apparently the 11-16 is slightly sharper but many people think this is the best wide angle crop body lens you can get for canon - my 12-24 is close to that and was only £300 new which is a fair bit cheaper than the 11-16. Enjoy your...

really good mate - your pictures are a nice contrast to mine. I just bought a new tokina 12-24 so was keen to take a lot of wide angle shots whereas you are closer to the action, I have a similar picture to your picture number 1 and prefer my wider angle, but I really like your number 5 and...

thanks mate! Yeah i was very impressed, cant think of a better show durham have put on for picture 1 it was f8 and a 15 second exposure ISO 100 and for picture 7 it was f8, 8 seconds ISO 100 will be interested to see your pictures!

its new - and its still early days but apparently was so successful they will be running it every 2 years from now on. Its part of durham's 2013 city of culture bid apparently!

thanks for the tip on the white balance - i'll give that a try as i shot in RAW i went on the saturday - weather has been terrible on thu, perfect sat and sun, and is now terrible again! So there was a small window for good shots! Think my cathedral ones need straightening but i agree 8 and 9...

shameless bump to hope for some comments on my most recent uploads :)

I had so much fun I decided to go back for the final night to try and improve on last night - again, feedback most welcome 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12.

I bought the Mk1 because it was on offer online new for £299 which I thought was a great offer. Reading a lot about this online people tended to say it was worth getting a Mk2 if you have a Nikon but for Canon you only get the improved coatings which people cant agree about universally...

Hello everyone. As a joint birthday present from the girlfriend and myself, I now have a shiny new Tokina 12-24! The only other lens I have is a Canon 28-135 and I love its versatility but for sharpness it really cant come close to this. My Canon is sometimes sharp but not consistently, the...

i have a fairly steady hand and an IS lens as my walk around (canon 28-135) - so do i really need to use my tripod a lot? Obviously its not practical for shots when you are walking around town and quickly reacting to what is happening, but Ive got some good landscape shots without a tripod when...

oh and the guy in the glasses did win :)
