    Wales Meet Sept 09

    How nice it was to meet all of you. Some for the 1st time and some to meet again

    Also how nice the weather was for us all - specially in the morning

    Some views that may amuse those who were there and hopefully also some who were not


    Raglan Castle taen with the excellent 7-14 I was lent for the morning .. WANT ONE !



    I mean this is the classic view and I had no chance other than panoramic stitching with my lenses



    It is however a mind your toes lens as can be seen in this spiral staircase picture ... I've left it in to make the point rather than cropping/cloning



    We found plenty of entertainment @ Usk Castle



    Especially John (Zukio) Perriman who found the compost heap to play in



    Lunch was pleasant



    And I got to find out what a good portrait lens the 7-14 was... Sorry Steve..

    Nice set Andy

    But I'm struck by how 'narrow' the field of view of the 7-14 is compared with my Peleng (totally unfair and meaningless comparison). But from the same PoV (at the top of the tower) I got not only the castle but the visitor centre as well (though if I'd shot looking downwards the whole world would have been bent). I wonder if John Baker tried that shot with the Olympus Fish Eye?.

    Actually I'm most impressed - glad I didn't try it as I can't afford to buy it

      Ahh.. Nick ( and everyone) Apologies ... I mistakenly stripped the EXIF which would have shown that top one was at with my 11-22 and hence it was not as wide as your 8mm Peneng

      THis one is a slighly different FOV, but is the 7mm end of the 7-14 and back with EXIF in place

      Regards

            Hi All,

            I have been putting a smugmug gallery together, so far only got through the Raglan section but I'm working on the rest. Here is the gallery link and one of the better ones

            (I am a sucker for B&W)

            They are all great locations, thanks for organizing the trip
