Hey guys.

It's an awesome review. When I read reviews, it's very important if the photos actually appealing to me. This one does a wonderful job! Thanks for doing the review.

Thanks leafy, I totally agree! I often see reviews with very 'bad' or boring photos. I am always looking for pictures that are taken in 'my style' . That's why in my reviews, I'm trying my best to showcase the lens on my own skill level.

I was wondering if you could comment on how you took the second last picture (shed.jpg -- the one with the shed with the sun on the left)? It looks great. I noticed that it's a 20 second exposure at f/4 and 800 ISO. Was it shot with an ND filter? It seems like a bright scene... what was the reasoning for such a long exposure? How do you achieve the hazy sunny look? Was it a foggy morning?

It was shot around 2 at night during full moon. It's not the sun, it's the moon!

Making excellent use of that BIG, BIG, reflector in the sky

We have had rubbish weather in the UK since by Batis arrived. Here is a bearded lizard. Not really the right focal length for the shot, so I have cropped in a bit but as so few shots are out there:
