Cheers Brazo, I missed the tide as I wanted to get on the island, next time!
The B&W works really well with your shot.

 

[Tonys]

Tony can you lighten his eyes a bit, that's a grat composition but the shadows in the eye area lose some impact.

Thanks Brazo, ill give it another go, but i did try and it didn't really work.

Went with a couple lads fishing today for the first time, mainly to test my new 70-200 lens out (LOVE IT) thanks for the advice on choosing this lens!. Was badly overcast so had to bump the iso up for it on every shot but performed epic. At Elthwaite water

My Grandad has just got a Mk3 MR2 so I went out in it today and got some rolling shots using my suction mount (fairly heavy duty one mind)-

How in the hell did you manage to capture that Pike (I think) coming out like that?!? Incredible!

It's on the end of someone's line. If you look to the left you can see a weight . Not that it's easy to get that picture regardless.

 

[Mark-F]

How do you delete the rig from the photo?
Theres loads of questions I have, and I'm useless when it comes to editing too. Wish I could take it a bit more seriously

 

[Šįk]

Thankyou guys, really appreciate the kind comments.

Tbh I was abit gutted I hadn't captured the pike 100%, was quicker than I anticipated. VTT, the pike was putting up a proper fight, so I had my eye on it coming in and just got it on its last attempt for escape!

Aaron, get one! You won't be disappointed. Great value for money "L" series telephoto!

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

As soon as my pay rise comes through I think I'll get one, unless I spot one in NY next month, although a fisheye is on the cards when I get there.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

That a 70-200 f/4 ?

Same as I have. Awesome bit of kit !

Cool & Yea that's the one TEG

I like that, did you use ND filters?

 

[Niall]

I like that, did you use ND filters?

Cheers. I didn’t use an ND filter because it was taken using my fisheye so I can’t add an ND filter unless I got one of the small gelatin ones that insert at the rear of the lens. It was one of the limiting factors in this shot actually, it was too bright to get a longer exposure. I may try again in lower light so that I can maybe get 2 or 3 seconds rather than 1 second.

Few more from this afternoon. Again all with the new 70-200 f4

How much you pay for the suction mount mate?

 

[Niall]

How much you pay for the suction mount mate?

Not a lot, only around £25, it isn’t really made for the weight of my DSLR so I did this with caution (I bought it a while back for an action camera). They do make a more heavy duty one though.

 

[JJ!]

Sometimes you just capture a memory and this is one of my favorite pics for a while (pic from facebook - not true quality).

Great shots there, Piers.
Really like the variety and creativity of all the shots.
I love my 10-22, just gutted I've lent it to the missus and she is in the US!

 

[Brazo]

Nice just got a sigma 105 myself, got an absolute bargain but don't know if its a keeper, it's the older ex dg version.

^^North Wales?

Was out today. Had to take the Mrs to the station for 5.30 so thought I'd make the most of the time and head for some sunrise shots.

Love the Waterfall mate, although i'd be inclined to crop the little bit of white sky and remove the vignette(?) The colours in the other two seem a little over saturated.
