Hmmm... I've been away for a while so I missed your shots ..... The Imperial War Museum is a must if you're in the area too.

The 10-20 Sigma is an excellent lens and there are no problems with focussing with mine either.

Thanks for the comments

Re: Salford Quays

Nice shots, a very good representation of symmetry, and the colours are well managed too! Although I do remember a shot quite like that before....

Re: Salford Quays

lovely shots man! just the angle on the first one got to me, if it was bang in the middle it would be perfect, still a class set though, especially like the last 3!

Re: Salford Quays

Hey Mike - could not resist this one - just selected the sky and adjusted the levels - that's all.

Nice work now I've got my computer fixed & CS3 finally installed I'll have a look at reprocessing some of my shots.

No not really, it's a wide angle lens that's more suited to landscape/ architectural photography. Try this link for some recommendations Linky
