That seems like a really nice lens. Are you using it on full frame?

No, it's a DC lens (I only remember the Sigma nomenclature cos some wag once said this meant "digitally crippled") - so vignettes badly on full-frame. I did take a few shots on film though, just for fun. My impressions are that this isn't nearly as good as the (full-frame) Sigma 12-24mm, even within the crop frame boundaries - lots of corner aberration/smearing that I couldn't seem to fix in Lightroom. But, yeah, it's pretty good for the money, I think.

Playing about with the new DBLCAM app on the iPhone (processed in VSCO Cam)

Not the biggest fan of seeing my own face so the novelty is likely to be short lived.

Really going to miss the 300 preset when I finally move to Lightroom 4...

that's my niece not my babby

that is an inquisitive babby

Getting an iPhone 4S (with the Camera+ app) has shaken up the way I shoot recently. Very beguiling. But...they still look merely adequate on a PC so I'm not linking to them here (yet). Instead, here are some merely adequate shots on the 40D...

The 'Trance' one is very nice.

They were taken at the Tanks at the Tate Modern in London.

Nice to meet you, MaresNest!

And you! & I hope I didn't spook you! I realised I've probably seen you at the UC before, I'm there most Saturdays recording the performances for the podcast and helping with the stage tech.

Had a roll needing developed for a while, nothing exciting but was a film (Lucky SHD100), developer (Kodak D76) and camera (an Olympus Trip 35 given to me by a colleague) that I hadn't used before so I'm pleased it all worked.

Love that first pic.

Thanks, I was pretty happy with it!

Took this on phone today. I've hundreds of photos to go through from a memorial football tournament this morning, but my hard drive is full (coincidentally i bought a new one in preparation this afternoon but didn't expect it to happen so soon) and I can't do anything in Lightroom while 287GB of photos (i shoot RAW...) transfer. 4hrs.

Nice work, liking that!

I'm in the middle of Lightroom chimping the 2500 Holiday snaps from Japan that I took with my little Lumix two years ago, it's an epic adventure, not RAW files mind you, but it's still pretty decent what you pull out of a Jpeg.

Here's a few from the last couple of weeks:

In the hope that someone is reading this thread on their mobile device, here are some iPhone 4S snaps from recently (which are really only look good on the phone itself)...

Wow, what are we looking at in the top one?

reflection of a tree in wet paving stones?

Tree reflected in wet flagstones in Leicester Sq Gardens, flipped upside down and otherwise jazzed up in Camera+.

Ah...xp!

It's a bit of a revelation to me, having a semi-decent camera in my phone and a quite powerful and very speedy associated app. Obviously you can only push a JPEG snapped with a 15.5mm2 sensor so far before it starts to look hideous, but I'm amazed at how good the one-click treatments are on Camera+ (steering away from the vintagey nonsense).

This was snapped above my head through the window of the footbridge over the train tracks, two-click treatment, on FB ten seconds later. Sorry, I'm old, this sort of thing amazes me.

love it.

It's taken me a couple of days to realise what the reflected part of Michael's photo actually is! (the tennis rackets)

chinavison!s shadow people and bizarro's bridge both very nice.
