Nice Dave... it was a good setup that, might be worth a shoot on a high tide ;P
David de Groot said: Yeah or at least a slightly higher tide. I like the island that the tree is on though.

Looks good in BW!
Thanks for your valuable comments.
Yeah, I am not at all happy with the 18-200mm sigma lens. The clarity is not up to the mark. Will use it just as a travel lens :(
May be its time to buy a 70-300mm sigma lens. But I am unhappy that I am accumulating all these lenses for sony and not for nikon/canon.

Great photo! Perfect contrast.
David de Groot said: Ah well once you have some money behind you, you can sell the Minolta/Sony stuff and shift to Canon or Nikon.
General rule of thumb is to avoid super-zoom lenses (18-200, 50-500, that sort of thing as you'll usually end up with a compromised design with serious flaws somewhere in the zoom range, or in the case of the 18-200 everywhere). Thanks!

nice Dave. I too like a bit of grain in B&W photos.

i love how the lighter sky on the right draws attention to the little tree.... very appropriate as it's in the foreground... nicely done :)

Nice work mate...this is fantastic!
David de Groot said: Thanks Kath :) A case of the weather really working for us, despite it not being what we expected ;-) I've been known to dabble a bit ;-) Thanks Alison :) Worked fairly well really, and I didn't even have to get my shoes wet to shoot it ;-) Thanks Evan!

Limited photos due to workload (the Chinese made me work :-). Sydney next week and Malaysia the week after so hopefully better chance for piccys :-)
