Comments: Whilst being one of my favourite photos at the moment, it gives a clear example of the barrel distortion you get on this lens at the wide angle. It’s not so evident with further zoom, but is a bit rediculous really!

Winnerd

Follow-up to Winner! from my housemate is a soviet spy

Courtesy of London Camera Exchange and Spa Scene magazine, I found myself with £200 of vouchers for LCE. Wanting a new lens that covered slightly longer distances than my current Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC I ended up parting with an extra £230 to buy myself a lovely new Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM

I’ll post some test shots in the next week, and expect some more photos anyway as I’ve been pretty slack recently. Basically I’m pretty happy with my new beast!

Heart of Darkness

Camera: Canon EOS 350D
Lens: Sigma 18–200mm f3.5–6.3 DC
Filter: UV +Circular Polariser
Date: 10th September 2006
Location: Jepherson Gardens, Leamington Spa
Focal Length: 48mm (equivalent focal length: 78mm)
Shutter: 1/13s
Aperture: F/8
ISO: 400
Comments: More black and white. I had planned this shot since walking through it one evening in the dark. It was different in the day, and also quite busy. Admittedly I forgot to take off my polariser, but I don’t think it’s done much to it. I mono’d it post-photo and added a green filter to bring out the foliage. It’s not the best, as I found it difficult to get the exposure right; with the end light all perfect yet the shadows just right. I think it was because I took it during mid-day. I’ll try it one evening with a tripod and see what happens (aka. get mugged). Another attempt can be seen here
Post–processing: b/w with green filter, cropped.
