I've been looking into getting a slightly less wide lens to partner the trusty 10-20mm, as I do find occasions where I want to be a little tighter in composition. After much deliberation, I decided that I couldn't justify the cost of a 17-40L, lovely piece of glass though it is, given my current level of experience.
Unfortunately, the other options (Sigma 20-35mm, ETC) aren't significantly cheaper to justify their flaws.
Instead, after a lot of googling, I went the bargain route and picked up a Tamron 19-35mm off Ebay for £50 + postage. This was the first time I've tried it (massive plus point - 77mm filters) and I'm pretty impressed.
Yes, it has some barrel distortion, but so does my Sigma 10-20mm costing 8 times the price! Sharpness and colour definition seem good. If all the shots come out like this, I'll be a happy man.
Taken this morning at Hauxley with Coquet Island as a backdrop and a spectacular sunrise sidelighting the rocks. One of the nicest mornings I've had for a while...

Can hardly look at this - its so sad that this line has succumbed - it had such promise!
Even though funds to rebuild after the flood damage eventually came through - local expectations frustrated at Spoornet's inability to get the scheme off the ground.
The loser is worldwide tourism!
I bought the Sprocket Rocket, hoping I would get very cinematic images, like the wonderful pictures of Jeff Bridges with his Widelux. Clearly, for a first roll, I'm far from having attained that goal :) But it was an interesting test, and, as a movie fan, I still like the aspect ratio.
I shot this one at the French skydiving championships.

No esperes más de la mayoría de la gente de lo que esperarías de una piedra,
pues al menos las piedras no te darían una patada en el culo sin venir a cuento.
I had low expectations of the George in Alstonefield. It's been reviewed in the Guardian, the Times, the Michelin Guide...
There were hipster beards (that fad isn't quite over in the sleepy backwaters of the Peak District), and family gatherings, but mostly it was just people like us, enjoying a pint in the sunshine.
The ale was Sharp's Rye Rock, which also exceeded my expectations and went down well at mile 10 of a 15 mile hike.
I found this book in my brother's room; he's got a great book shelf overflowing with novels and chapter books that nobody reads.
My mom has had these old tea cups in our cabinet for centuries it seems, and I've always wanted to do something with them, so I figured they'd go nicely on top of my other vintage-y stuff.

My last series of photos inspired by Funny Face/Paris and my last Poppy! She was also my very first Poppy and therefore very special to me.

Based on Charles Dickens’ classic coming of age novel, Great Expectations tells the adventures of the Victorian orphan Pip. As a boy, Pip has three encounters with people that will change his life: the escaped convict Magwitch, the bewitching and cold Estella, and the unhinged Miss Havisham. When Pip comes into an unforeseen fortune and begins the life of a gentleman his past is not so easily left behind, and the surprising adventures of his new life are decidedly unexpected.

When a woman finds the man she wants to marry, she sees the potential in him to become the man she knows he can be. When a man finds the woman he wants to marry, he sees exactly what he wants for the rest of his life. The woman of his dreams and things will always be the same. But boys are boys and it takes us a long time to grow up and women, they carry babies and become mothers and pick-up responsibilities and sensibilities quickly.
My arrival at the Pfister Hotel. I love people watching, almost as much as I love being watched by people :) So, who will I see today, and who will see me?
