Blue Arch 

I love the blue and composition in this shot.

Thanks Mel :)

I really am quite please with this. It's pretty much straight from the camera (+0.33 EV adjustment in Lightroom only).

I showed this one to my dad and all he could say was how amazing it was :)

See, the kit lens can sometimes give some very nice results

Yes that it can Sam. Helps to use a polarizer and be shooting in good daylight and overexpose roughly 2 stops when using the polarizer.

Using a polarizer is a good point. I've been using a kind of cheap one that we had for our old finepix s9500 (same filter size) and have gotten some very nice results with the pair.

Yeah I've got a pretty cheap Fujiyama 58mm thread polarizer that I got when I was shooting with the S2 IS. I've found the polarizer helps the kit lens a lot when out in the sun. I also tend to only use the kit lens to shoot something with sky in it, (I'm still waiting for a 10-20 to replace it with).

mmm... 10-20.

Im getting a tokina 12-24 f4 from photobuff.com.au in a few weeks. With that and the 28-135 that i should be getting tomorrow, i will have some decent range covered.

The Tokina 12-24 is nice too - that's what Louise and Albert have from memory.

Hmmm, 28-135, that's the IS one isn't it ?

Yeah, it is the IS one. I was going to get a sigma 24-70 but someone offered be a really good deal on the 28-135 and after seeing some shots from it, i was hooked. I figure for fast lenses, ill just use primes.

But yeah, I would really reccommend Photobuff if you were looking to buy something. Very good deals and you can sometimes work out a lower price too :D

That's a good composition, and a POV that's new to me!

Thanks Steve. I must admit, I'd not really noticed this arch before when wandering this way.

Great point of view, I like the compo.

Thanks :)

Very nice shot David

Turned out ok didn't it ? :)

I like the composition, well done!

Thanks :)
