More LBA... what, my Mirror lens wasn't enough?

FireMate · 07-21-2007, 06:45 PM

Heh, while travelling in Nanaimo, BC, I came across a store that had a Sigma 70-300 APO for sale at $199 Can., so I figured hey, why not?

My bags were beyond capacity flying home this morning. A trip for work, meant coming back with an extra Pentax, and three lenses to add to my collection. Man oh man... nothing like a long flight to make you get the itch to take shots with them (-;

Wow...gorgeous photo! Looks like someone's heading to the moon! :P

Wow - great use of creative exposure. You use spot metering there?

However, I would crop out the window. It's a bit too out of focus.

You mean, like this?

Or this?

Or maybe you meant this?

Firemate those shots are incredible. Can't think of any possible enhancement.

Great shots

The last one is my favorite there.

I meant, just the window, keeping everything else pretty much in. But all those crops are too good effect!

Heh, thanks everyone! Except, Hyena, the rest arent crops (-; I had just placed the camera directly on the (thankfully) clean window for the longer exposures.
