Thanks,

I’ll be returning, it’s only 5 min from my place.

I have no filters… and I am very bad with photoshop :(

Thanks to all,

I think at this place, it is about 8 miles to get to the other shore , I would need big lenses to get rid of the water :)

A friend of mine has the 18-200 VR.

Overall, he’s really happy… the only drawback is the aperture/ slow focusing.

I am not to sure…

1: it would be true on a wide angle
2: would depends on the distance of what you shoot ?

Did you ever consider the 120-300 F2.8 sigma ?

You can check the Fred miranda reviews.

I have a 120-300 F2.8 Sigma and a 70-200 F2.8 Sigma and I am really happy with those 2 :D

I got my Nikon SB 600 and sigma 70-200 F2.8 from hk-digi when I was still leaving in Ireland.

They are very good.

Many thanks for your kind comments.

It happens I just learned how to adjust how to correct the slope when the photographer was leaning on one side…

Also, english is not my first language ( I am French) what did you mean about the barrel stuff ?

As for the second one, I have no ideas as how to play with curves… I have PS but I barely can use it :oops:

Thank you all :D
How would you shoot, having more light on the aigle but not over exposing the white part ?

(no reflector, right Aidan :wink: ?)
