KUMB Photography Thread

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Burnley -

Got out of the car in the car park and instead of going Left for The Miner's Path I went Right and took a picture - I'll take your word for it - I'm from Anglesey not Snowdon ! :) :thup:

Once you get in to it, there's a few features that are quite handy, such as lens correction and the like. :thup:

It's been a while, and it would also be a shame for this thread to drop off the forum, so a few I took recently...

Plus it's a chance to show off my new 17 - 85mm Canon lens the in-laws bought me as a returning to work prezzie :D

The kit lens I've been using up until now was 17-55mm - the new one is 17-85mm. The previous lens was pretty good, but this one is a different ball game altogether. It's like having a new camera.

Apologies , 17-85mm . :thup:


They do say it's all down to the lens -

I've never been in the position to buy a truly great lens , my best is probably the Tamron 90mm DI USD VC but it's a specialist macro lens really although it can be used as a portrait lens .

When I get enough money behind me [ when being the operative word ] I'm going to look at the Tamron 70-200mm G2 , 15-30mm G2 and the 24-70mm G2 . In that order .

Then upgrade to a full frame Nikon - D750 or D810 - if a lottery win came along and if rumours are to be believed , a Nikon Z8 [ using the Sony 60 mp sensor ] .

I can dream .

Sorry to disappoint - but I very, very, rarely take photos in public with people in them - unless it's my family :)

Only joking, DL.
It would be very unseemly of you (or anyone else) to do so.

I thought that you were banging one out over a picture of that coach.
