hehe this thread moves really fast sometimes.
Alastair:
More excellent shots. To me they have a real journalistic quality in that they tell a story. They have a real texture to them too.
I don't know if thats what your going for but it works really well. The lamp shot is great but my fave of the set is still Out of Order

The puddle picture is an interesting idea and has great colour (it almost looks like a negative) but doesn't really tickle me. The shot of the coastline is great though and has a real sense of scale. Love the sky. (PS the link for the puddle is broken, you have two http://'s in there)
Pete:
thats a great picture, lovely blue sky. I couldn't believe it was in the UK at first. I also am envious you have such great things to photograph during your work lunch break
GT:
You really have an eye for buildings and lines. Number 2 and number 4 stand out for me, and I really like number 4. They may be ugly buildings but you have captured their geometric beauty.
Fuse:
Nice shots, the one you posted here of the chap with the armband is probably my fave of the bunch. He stands out well against the background. If you are having trouble with the manual focus might be worth adjusting your dioptre for your eyepiece, helped me a lot. If not is autofocus not good enough for portraits.
And finally, my new lens came on Friday. The delivery man turned up just as I pulled up from work. which was perfect because it was before my partner got home so I could sign of the lens and unpack it into my camera bag and she is none the wiser that I have bought a new lens.
It was delivered in less than a week which is bloody great. Its the Sigma 105mm f2.8, bought from one stop digital and its my first non budget lens. And oh my goodness what a beautiful thing it is.
I haven't uploaded any macro shots because the only thing I found was water droplets on a leave, but as a prime its superb. The bokeh is great, the contrast is super and the colour is rich. I honestly don't know how I lived without it.
Posting a few examples, but they are not great, just examples of what the lens can do.
Oh yeah and one more black and white photograph just for the hell of it. I really enjoy black and white and trying to make myself a little recipie for a vintage look. (shot with the kit lens)
