I managed to fit quite a lot into that couple of hours, walking all the way up to the Titanic Dock amongst other places to get some pictures, but my journey that day began here in the city centre. Belfast City Hall is over 100 years old now and is a fantastic piece of architecture. It's very much still a working building, being the base of Belfast City Council, but is obviously very popular with tourists as well and apparently office workers relaxing at lunchtimes.
Spent most of yesterday in and around The New Forest, trying the new sigma lens and also my new tripod. Had a fantastic day, I actually felt like a real landscape photographer for the first time - lugging around a massive tripod, while carefully planning and taking shots. Haven't processed any yet, but hope to have some good ones from it!
I look forward to seeing the new shots! What kind of tripod did you get?? I have a great combo I use for low weight/heavy duty I can tell you about if you would like. Lovely shot from Ireland. I have not been to Belfast but would love to one day. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteReally nice piece Pete!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, as always they are much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteAdam, the tripod I went for is one from 3leggedthing.com called The Adrian. Here is a link to it: http://www.3leggedthing.com/2gen/adrianblack.html
It wasn't amazingly fast to setup and fold up again, but then I was used to using a ridiculously basic tripod before that and I'm sure I will get more use to this one. In terms of functionality, this one is superb and I'm glad I got it.
Would love to hear about your setup!
Nice shot Pete. I remember sitting on a bench from where you took this shot, last summer. Look for ward to your new Sigma shots.
