Very nice Chris. And you can tell they are a local as they are using a 4WD to negotiate the terrible road surfaces that most English towns have these days!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks Pete - proper farming country - probably wearing green wellies as they go to the town market

 

[Rob MacKillop]

An incongruous juxtaposition, if ever I've seen one. Just doesn't belong there, does it? Nice shot and treatment, Chris.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Nice shot Chris. Looks like he might be a renting 'Merican who can't figure out what side of the road to be on.

 

[Dave Moss]

Rob - it's quite at home - lots of farmers in and around Stamford - and it was market day when they all come into town

NIK SnapSeed did alright didn't it

Thanks Ralph - I think most tourists would find the LR Defender a little 'basic' for a rental - it's not moved on much in the last 30 years!!!

Thanks Dave - It was market day - could well be from Burghley - or any of the 'well to do' farms in the area

Thanks Beth - amazing what you can do with PP!!

I like the lens - gave me a new perspective for shooting these buildings, which I rather liked.

You can compress that perspective and see how they all jumble in on each other - and you'd loose that with a wide angle lens

I had OIS on for this shot - in fact, I've kept it on 100% so far!

How's the lens working out for you?

you're so funny chris, i've used it twice so far. between weather and special events at work i haven't had much time to do anything.
