I used a canon 1000D, my new sigma 10-20mm lens on raw and a gorillapod tripod.

They are all great! I really like 5!

Great shots,I've been to all of these places recently and you've captured them perfectly

That 10-20mm sure is tempting me!

Very nice photos Longshanks and that first one is fantastic,I can't really find too much to criticise I must look into getting a gorillapod aswell,they look damn handy.

I really like #9 and #1 . Possibly I would have processed #1 differently , it seems very bright, but I like it.

Did you find the gorillapod supported a DSLR steadily ? I think I will try using mine again as an alternative to carting round a tripod in one hand.

Love number 1.;)

Would it be fair to ask you to post or pm me with the seller id for the gorillapod ?
cheers

I really like 1, 5 and 10, well done Longshanks.

Thanks.

#1 is bright alright - but then so where the lights straight into the lens . I like it - it could be processed different but the flare from the street light was one of the things i was after. I had no filters as i only picked up the 10-20mm a few days before headed off (i'm strictly an hong kong ebay purchaser when comes to filters).

Regarding the gorillapod, i wrapped it firmly onto the bridge handrail for #1. I never let go of the gorillapod arms though in case (a) somebody robbed the camera or (b) it dropped into the water :eek:. But i found it very very steady.

For #9 & #10 i just placed it on the ground / wall. It was 100% steady, even with the relatively heavy sigma lens- especially when you find out that #10 was a 60 second exposure with no remote release. I forgot it in the hotel so i manually held down the shutter of the camera mounted to the pod.

Excellent. I have not done any night photography really so cant C&C except for to say I like them. I actually like Mayors office and the ones from the side of the bridge.
Going in late September for W/E with my good wife.

Hah same here. I also ordered (different seller), a remote for about €5 which arrived as well, can't go too wrong with that. :pac:
