These photos were taken last weekend at Stoney (again) as I wanted to have a quick play with the new lens. Its quite a beast and will take some getting used to:
In the this first photo I was just hanging onto the side of the hull which, for those that don't know the Stanegarth, it only about 40-50 cms from winch. Mark is hovering over the other side of the hull but seems much further away than that.
On the bow, I was about a couple of inches from the boat but still managed to get in a lot of the wreck into the frame.
Here I'm right on top of the hatch on the Nautilus and looking down slightly, yet I can still take in the whole of the tower and still capture the surface. Awesome wide-angle. Pity about the blown-out highlights on the surface.
Again, right on top of the hatch this time on the APC. Still a problem with the surface highlights.
I can see in green water with a portrait orientatin that this lens is going to be difficult to manage without getting blow out highlights. It's fantastically wide tho and with more practice I hope to get a lot better using it.
All this was using just the one strobe as well.
