Hi Matt, missed a few, had a busy few days. The cosmos flower is really nice, I like the dof, looks a better when viewed on flickr for me. The wedding shot is a cracker indeed, I like it a lot, it works very well. Hay bale is a very nice image too, nice depth and evening colour in there. The orange crocosmia, one of my fave plants, for its super colours. Infact I walked past a big patch of thse at flamborough head on sunday, didn't get any pics though, an raf helicopter took my attention!
Been manic, but worth it, got a bit more practice with my 50-500 and birds in flight and a few other bits and bobs.
Will get some stuff posted, only just finding the time to go through them. My dad has gone and brought a sigma 10-20 and I had aplay with that, I want one! What have you tried out?
The 10-20 is a mighty impressive lens I've seen it in action
Yeah having had an unxpected present from HMRC I'm currently torn between that one, the tamron 10-24 (which gets slightly better reviews but is less robust) and a samyang 8mm - or i might blow the wad on a GF3 to carry arround - because i'm sure i'd get more photos if i had the kit on me 24/7 but the DSLR is too big and too valuable - argh decisions decisions
incidentally with regard to the 85 f1.8 its certainly a cracking lens, but if you want it for general photography with the occasional portrait rather than full on wedding work I'd say look at the tamron 90mm f2.8 macro - that will be better for flower and nature shots, and makes a great portrait lens - assuming you arent shooting in dimly lit churches every weekend it may prove a better choice.
2 nice lenses those Matt, I had a 100mm f2 back when I brought an eos 1n film body, wish I hadn't got rid, both that and the 85 are very good indeed. An interesting point about the tamron, I have used these in the past and it was a cracking lens back then. I will second the samyang 8mm, it's awesome!
Matt nice subject and I love the composition. Collectables of the future indeed keep them safe Matt.
Nice Matt, bg works well and I like the lighting.
I'm sure you will think of something
I had a piece of welding glass delivered today

Nice - now that ive got my new (well new to me) 17-50 f2.8 I shall be ordering a 10 stop filter
top welding glass tip - the sides can be sharp , so you might want to edge it with duct tape so you dont cut yourself
Cheers Pete, the sides are quite smooth, but the corners are a bit more prominent.
Loving 227!
I've heard that too Pete I can hold heartedly recommend the B&W ND110 they come up reasonably often in the classifieds
Good call - ive just bought one off of daugrias in the classifieds - a bargain at 66 quid. ( I just need to get a cable release now and i'll be set for some long exposure goodness)
I see you found something then Certainly not something you see every day.
Matt whilst taking 228 did you see any Men in Black lol !! Bloody class
Female blackbirds are brown not black - but i think that might be a juvenile song thrush as the chest is quite speckly)- i'll ask the wife (who works for the rspb) to have a look - nice capture anyway
Matt I think it's a Blackbird youngster, nice photography pal
I also think its a thrush mate... Nice shot
It is a blackbird Matt
