Once again Chris, superb shots. Actually I prefer the first shot because of the composition. You have the scene ahead and the reflection from the front left external mirror.

It looked like a champion day.

Goodbye for now,

I really like the second shot...

Some shots I've seen from the wide angle lenses suggest some form of distortion in the image (barrel or pin-cushion or what-ever) but these look straight as a die to me... Wonder why? Wonder if it's just me

Cheers,
Mudder

#2 is a great shot. Shows what can be done even with Sigma glass

Local word is that the observation tower in the photo is going to be demolished by the council for some reason. Did you go to the top - the view is great.

I agree with you about the barrel distortion not being evident. Some would say (Chris, Glen) that's because it's the Sigma 12-24. I have the Nikon, just in case this isn't obvious :wink:

and I find it takes similarly low to no distortion shots. Both are nice pieces of glass (obviously the Nikon is better :!:

)

Thanks all for your comments.

Stubbsy - I was also told yesterday that they are thinking of terminating the rail at Broadmeadow.

It certainly is a lovely spot for an ale, food and, I have been told, great bands at night
