He was kind enough to let me play with the lens despite the slight drizzle (much appreciated Paul!)
The light was already fading when I left the house and I took a couple of quick shots with my 70-210 lens, for comparison:
That's 70mm f4.0 @ 1/40th sec hand held using ISO400. It was a not that easy to get a nice sharp shot :)
For you non-photographers, just ignore all the data after the images. I'm including it for the one or two people who look at this blog and shoot themselves :)
"Almost IR"
105mm f4.2 @ 1/50th sec ISO 400
Obligatory tin soldier shots to follow ;)
Chevrons
105mm f4.2 1/80th
After meeting Paul we swapped lenses, he wanted to try my Sigma 10-20mm and wandered around the Quay for a bit as the sun was setting.
Too many lines!
122mm f4.8 1/60th (VR was on in Normal mode for all shots with the 70-300)

270mm f5.6 1/320th

Cones
102mm f4.5 1/30th - railing supported, don't get too excited about VR performance or my hand-holding ability ;)

122mm f4.8 1/640th
At this point Paul and I swapped back, I threw on the 10-20mm lens. Wow, that's a big change. Here is a photo from the same spot I took the one above from
10mm f5.6 1/30th
10mm is _really_ wide. I forget that when I haven't put the Sigma on in a while ;)
Not even looking
10mm f5.6 1/10th
Hand-holding at 1/10th of a second sounds wrong. Your brain rebels for a bit and goes "that didn't turn out".
After this Paul and I stopped off for some lasagna at Rivers Reach and a couple (ok a few) beer.
Good times!
