Don't forget Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 if you want excellent B/W conversion

I would like a copy of that as well. Hmm, just when I thought I was done and had run out of lenses to buy

Thanks guys for the comments and feedback! It's really worth it to be out there very early in the morning.

Exceptional photos indeed! Would you like to share with us newbies, some infos about these captures?

Well, i can try, though there's not much to say i suppose. I had planned some of those shots beforehand, then i just waited for the right kind of morning, with the fog and all. The toughest thing was to stay awake! Those have been shot between 3 and 6 in the morning.

Enjoy your new toy, look forward to seeing the images.

I'm wondering though what accessory Aon bought to help produce those wonderful images, I want 2 of them right now!

I actually forgot to buy the most important accessory: mosquito repellent. There were tons of them buzzing and biting!

More "unreal" Melbourne, the real version is too boring.

Been starting to develop an interest in astrophotography and until I took this one the other night, had never done it before. Lots to learn. DA15mm

This is great shot! How long was the exposure time?

OK, so the Lens arrived today. Initial impressions are very good indeed. Build quality is what I would expect from a Limited. This is my first DA Limited and I'm equally impressed with the craftsmanship as I am with the FA Limiteds. Looking forward to getting out and learning to 'see' through this Lens. Until then, here is a shot of the Lens on my K-5 (taken with my camera phone) and a fun one of my Boy.

Wide Boy

P.S. Really like your shots there, Aon!
