Wide Angle Take Two

I wanted to try out the Sigma 10 to 20mm lens I had borrowed again at the weekend, so grabbed half an hour in the town centre to try a few more shots.

I was a bit rushed and would have liked to take some more but I had to get back for other things.

These three shots are all of St Edwards Church in Leek.







Hope you like them.

Sigma 10-20mm Lens

I borrowed a Sigma 10-20mm Wide Angle Lens to have a play around with, with a view to buying one.

I must admit it was like letting a child loose in a sweet shop. The 102 degree field of view at 10mm is awsome. I have to be careful not to get myself in the shot!!

Anyway I took these whilst out on a walk with the dog. My first shots with the lens. I hope to have another play at the weekend.







Hope you like them.

Til next time,

A Walk By The Canal

I went for a walk along the canal near where I live with the dog in tow. Took a few shots, but these 3 are my favourite.

The canal is the Cauldon Canal and the shots are taken near Cheddleton, Staffordshire, UK.







Hope you like them.

Studio Lights

The camera club that I attend has just bought some 600w studio flash kit with background. I borrowed them recently and tried to replicate the "Venture" look.

I quite liked the results. For £10 to hire the kit it was a bargain.

Portrait Session

I went on a portraiture evening last night with three others from the camera club I attend. It was my first time and whilst highly nervous managed to get a dozen or so I quite liked. Here are some of my efforts....

A Walk With The Dog

Hi,

It's been some time since my last post. I have not managed to do much photography recently as I have been in the process of moving house.

I have moved to a more rural location which has plenty of nice walks with the dog. Here are some shots I took with my small pocket Lumix camera (not wanting to lug the SLR on a dog walk).

Hope you like them.

Toolshed Flowers

Whilst on holiday I visited the "Lost Gardens of Heligan" in Cornwall. It was a lovely place. I noticed these flowers in the toolshed and liked the way the light fell on them.

Thistle

Rain, rain and yet more rain.....I haven't seen a summer like it for a long time.

Anyway, I have been watching the progress of a thistle growing in my "in-laws" garden for a few weeks now. So on Sunday I finally "nicked" one of the heads and had a pleasant hour giving it the macro treatment.

Here's my favourite shot..



Til next time,
