Thanks mate, not real happy with the day's shooting TBH, shouldn't have had those beers for lunch.

Wow. Very nice!

I plan to head over there some time next week to get some photos.

Beers for lunch = win.

#3 for the winning pic.

Thanks guys, all three are my first go at using my new Lee grad.
Not a great debut with them I'm afraid but will persist.

Wow, nice shots! Good stuff!

Awesome place to get some shots.. I went there with the missus the other week... their nowhere near as awesome as yours..

ElBeasto · 29th October 2012, 11:50 AM

Thanks AJ, you're being a little too kind there but yeah it's a great place to shoot.

I tried a similar bridge shot on the same night and learnt another lesson about long exposures, F/22 will make your LE's look soft.
I had to sharpen the bejeesus out of this one.

AJ(LOUDA1) · 29th October 2012, 11:52 AM

and i got owned again.. :P

Were you using a tripod AJ?
It makes a huge difference once you start using one in low light, low ISO's and longer shutter speeds make for much better low light stuff.

Time to put my 50mm f1.2 to good use.

f/1.2? I thought the "better" prime was f/1.4? Or is this not Canon we're talking about?
