The only two that bothered me were the one of the lorries in a line and the stone steps. I would have straightened them.

Granted the lorries one should have probably been straightened (but when processing 200 of them one tends to slip through the net ;) ) but I like the stairs one - makes it seem more atmospheric in my opinion.
 
The first real autumnal shots of 2014.

Sigma 10-20mm should be turning up tomorrow but I don't think anybody will be in the house to receive it, so I think I might have to wait until Wednesday.

Watch this space for some shots from that - I have a trip to London planned for the 12th! :D

Nice photos. Loving the punchy colours in Dale's and the lovely lighting in Ben's last photo. :) I'm not really very hot on your watermark though Ben. I think it spoils the photo. Maybe make it smaller and try another font?

Here are some taken with my new lens - the Sigma 10-20 f/4.0-5.6. I'm liking this lens a lot! The next lens on my list is the Sigma 17-50 f/2.8 to replace my kit lens.

Some of these are of my home town, Wymondham, some of London and some of a nearby seaside town called Great Yarmouth (which is a dump).

Hey spirit, I would just like to caution you about the sigma lenses. They are known to have CA ( Chromatic aberration ) issues. Even when getting up in $1000* lenses, they still come around with that issue. Tameron used to be the same way, but in their newer lenses they really stepped up the game. So personally, If you cannot afford a Nikon (you can great used deals) lens than Tameron often outperforms sigma depending on the field. Also I would just like to know, Nikon I uses 100% glass in their lenses, however Sigma and Tameron have used some plastics in their lenses. Canon has also, but not as much. So these are just some notes to think about with your sigma, and as a proof aswell I Outlined and cropped where you can see the CA issue at large.

There are more spots, but that is where it is pronounced.
 
Thanks for pointing it out but it's a very minimal amount compared to how much I get with the Nikon kit lens. I actually struggle to see it, though I'm aware it's there.

Below is a photo I took a year or so ago with the Nikon kit lens - much worse for chromatic aberration than the Sigma (which actually handles it really well, I feel).

Nice pictures, I like the first one tbh, it's really mystic. And on the last photo, would you be able to tell me where you took the meter reading? Just curios, thanks
 
Thanks. I don't really bother with light meters and the rest of it. I just set the camera in Program Auto and ISO 100 and shot, lol.

Oh you don't take your shots in manual? As far as white balance goes I use auto but all my shots are taken in M mode, there is so much you can do with the variation of settings.

I don't bother with light meters though, most dslr have good built-in TTL "light meters" nowadays.
