            BK - fantastic.  Now work out how you are going to get your arse over her in Sept and do ditto with the Gosport skyline…....

            In fact, will you send me a high res version of that, I want it on the wall of the new office........

              Ha, thank you sir.  I will email you a high-res version - any preference on what format?

              Trying my best to see if early Sept for the UK will work…...

                  thanks, laxlife.

                  I used a Canon 7D with the Canon EF-S 17-55m lens, shooting in RAW.  Av priority and aperture at f/6.3 with a slight overexposure setting.  The picture was taken in the evening when the light tends to work a bit better for landscape shots.  Had to do some work on the highlights in post-processing to get the clouds to stand out.

                    Ah, yeah raw gives better access to more light. I think the image looks great though it seems to resemble an HDR photo, but it also doesn't at the same time.

                    That lens seems to take some good landscape shots though! Looking forward to more pictures!

                          If you wanna splurge: Gitzo.  😠 Otherwise I can't contribute much.

                              If you can find one, get a Benro carbon fiber tripod + ball head.  It's a Chinese company that makes cheap knock-offs of CF and Arca-Swiss compatible quick release ball heads.  They're not the most durable (crap glue was my biggest complaint), but they used to cost about 1/4 - 1/3 what Gitzo or any other name brand costs.  I think one of the big stores like B&H picked them up, so maybe the price went up.  I bought mine 4-5 years ago (and still use it).

                              Edit:

                              http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Shop-by-Brand-Benro/ci/4/N/4294255798/phd/4291589386

                              Looks like the price went way up..  I think mine cost 1/2 that on ebay straight from China.  Definitely not worth 440 even for CF given the quality I've seen.

                                  a nice sharp small fast cheap lens
                                  really like mine
                                  but careful only well for DX format
                                  not FX or film
                                  if shooting those you want the 35/2

                                      ^HOLY SHIT! YOU HAVE A 24-70? That is the lens I think I am going to wind up getting! How do you like it? What don't you like about it? Any buyers remorse? Sorry for all the questions.

                                      Also, how is it? Like is it good, image quality wise?

                                          Ah, well looks like I know which lens I am getting next. It was originally going to be the 85 1/2L, but that was too much $$. I think this lens should hopefully do it all.
