Hi Steve, I bought a Tamron 17-50 from them - was very cheap, arrived within 3 days from HK, and has a very strong warranty (return to UK base). My personal experience was very good and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Cheers, Nik

Nice set so far Michael - I particularly like the horizontal format triptych! I think in theory the vertical layout should work better with landscape orientation shots (and vice versa for portrait orientation) but for some reason I prefer the horizontal - perhaps because it lends better to...

Thanks Michael, I appreciate the feedback! :)

Not technically perfect this one - 1/10th handheld in a 'chaotic' railway station! :D But the fact that it's not sharp and has some motion blur adds to the theme of the photo imo :)

As the dates of the posts will confirm, I've been AWOL on my 52 for a while. I still intend to catch up though, and will do so with a few new photos today. The others are work in progress! First up for tonight, 'Clutter':

Hi John, welcome! :) I'm not too far from you - I live on the west side of Shrewsbury. I've been thinking about joining the Shropshire Photographic society as a way to get to know some more local 'togs and hopefully learn a lot too :) Maybe I'll see you there one day! :D Cheers, Nik

Right, time for another one. Still need to catch up..... This is my take on the theme 'hard': C+C welcomed :)

I decided to go for it, bought a Tammy 17-50. Ordered and paid on Thursday, arrived on Monday - very fast delivery! :thumbs:

Thank you, I take that very much as a compliment! :D:thumbs:

I wasn't trying to link to the theme on this one unfortunately - decided to simply go open theme before I fall any further behind! :shake: I was trying some ideas for a different theme (for another purpose to the 52 - moonlighting! :lol:) of 'Water'. One thing led to another and I found...

Agree with the comments above. I went from a 450D to a 40D and the difference in handling and controls is huge. The 40D is a dream to use! :D But video is the one feature which could swing it. Personally I'm not fussed for video so my decision was a no-brainer. Enjoy whatever you...

Thanks for the comments! :D Now I need to get cracking on my 'Hard' and 'Clutter' images!! :)

Well, I was falling behind again, so to give me a little boost I decided to use this theme as an 'open theme'. I was taking photos for a photo competition and came up with a few abstracts that I quite liked. My photo for the Open theme is one of these. I present to you, water drops on a DVD...
