    Default took my new lens out today!!

    and am delighted with it............here's a few taken while walking the dog (or should that be while the dog walked himself!)

    thanks to Deemac, North Light & MPH for helping the choice of lens easier

    dragonfly,

    I'm pleased to see you've got to grips with it very quickly.

    No. 3 is very effective, good lines to lead the eye into the picture, and an excellent reflection of the clouds in the water.

    Thanks NL, have I mentioned that I'm delighted with it, can't say hubby is tho! never mind he'll soon be away offshore so I can spend as long as I want taking pics!

    here are 3 taken down at the beach

    the sea smoke was much better with the human eye but happy its quite clear in this one


    some festive looking seaweed


    a fantastic sky!

    Dragonfly, you've made a great start with your new baby. I'm sure you will have endless hours playing with this little beasty.

    Merry Xmas to one and all.

    great shots

    Love the seaweed shot, nice and sharp and contrasty, looks like you've got yourself a good lens there.

    I too am loving the seaweed shot but also like the BEEEG sky in the last - very simple shot but very nice.
