As I mentioned yesterday I'm currently writing a review of the Tamron AF 11-18mm F/4.5-5.6 Di II LD Aspherical [IF] for Digital SLR User magazine so went up to Fleetwood this afternoon to try it out. It was a glorious afternoon - though rather cold and windy - and I got four shots that I'm happy with.

All the ones I'll be posting are partial HDR's, constructed with FDRTools. This one and tomorrow's were constructed from a three shot bracketed sequence, while the ones I'll be posting on Sunday and Monday were created from a single shot. In all four cases I've used the sky from the original shot (or one of the originals).

Of the four I think that the one I'll be posting on Monday is probably my favourite, followed by this one, then Sunday's, then tomorrow's - but I'm pretty happy with all of them.

Oh, and the only other thing I can tell you about them is that they were all shot with a 400D - which I've borrowed to use with the Tamron lens.

The sky is brilliant in fact

The sky is indeed very nice, but the waves in the foreground do look oversharpened.

For a moment, you had me excited about 11-18mm on a full frame

The sky is great. The sea is great. But somehow they don't go together. Can't quite put my finger on why, though.

This is brilliant work David! I love the details of the shore and the water. The sky is pure magic!

Wonderfull shot! Nice colors!

comment by Chris at 04:26 AM (GMT) on 7 October, 2008

Where do you find these skies?! Stunning capture!

comment by Q at 04:41 AM (GMT) on 9 October, 2008

One question, how do you make them that sharp - big F number or just using a small focal lens made it look that sharp with a large DOF ?

comment by Foxarts at 04:04 PM (GMT) on 9 October, 2008

wow!

comment by Alex at 03:28 AM (GMT) on 26 October, 2008

Just doing what you do best, David!

The sky is just amazing. It looks a little bit like 3D. Great work.
