You mean the 17-55 2.8 that I also bought last week, its a very nice lens :nod:
I decided against the 70-200 2.8VR though and bought the 80-400 4.5 VR instead, should be picking it up today
Which lenses btw?
You forgot a new RB.
Which logoically has to be his number one priority as at the moment we have the inept defensively Aaron Hughes and the perma-crocked Mark De La Knee
Right, sit up straight, look forward and no giggling
THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER
Now get back to what you were doing before you started going round in circles

No need for the personal attacks, Nick you're on a yellow again (3 months this time)!!!!!!!!!!
Tricella, there is no need to respond to such posts, they only serve to escalate the problem, if you object to something people have said PM a mod - its the easiest way for it to get dealt with (and how I discovered this was going on, someone else contacted me!)
Now this isn't a pro Bellendamy post but its the logic I can't understand
If he's not good enough for a team that have reached 2 of the last 3 Champions League finals, he's not good enough for Villa?
How does that work, are we better than them? It just seems to me that people are expecting too much too soon
Sure he's an arsehole of the highest degree but on the principal of taking the cast offs from a major European force that has to be wrong surely?
Like those Peter, especially the top two, Top one being my favourite
Can't wait to get out and play with my new toys tommorrow, might even try some macro stuff if I can find something worthy now I've got a nice macro lens (the one I tiik the above shot with). Would have been better if my other new flashes had turned up today though, got to wait until tuesday for them
Not as expensive as the Nikon equivalent (which is why I was looking at the Sigma)
Who in their right mind designs an Ultra Wide with no filter thread, makes it usdeless to 70% of the people who'd want it - IDIOTS!
Good Job I noticed before I bought it though
Nice sports shots Cat
Right, whilst I'm in here4 B23 can you confirm (as you own one) that the Sigma 12-24mm does not have a filter thread on the front of it?
If so its gone right off my shopping list, whats the point in having an Ultra Wide lens with no filter thread, Ultra wide, the serious landscapers friend - no filter thread - thats just **** stupid, what insane landscaper is going to buy an ultra wide that they can't use an ND Grad on!
Nice Paris shots James that one looking down from the tower makes me feel physically sick (seriously - gives me vertigo) A bit like I felt when I went up there
Love the staircase shot too
Off to Paris myself in July, no doubt I'll be showing some shots on here when I get back
I noted that myself Peter but I emailed them and they replied that the accreditation for the other courses had been applied for and they were awaiting a decision as previously they didnt have enough units to actually qualify for the full degree, which was a new venture for them now they've added a couple of new courses recently
The remote learning thing isnt really a problem for me, I've already done one online photography course, my problems with that course were more to do with the incompetance of the course leader. My tutor and other tutors I came into contact with were all fine, they all hated the course leader in the main too
Has anyone done any courses with the Open College of the Arts?
Considering enrolling myself and just wondered if anyone had ever done one or looked into it.
Having done a previous online course organised by a magazine which had its good points and its very bad points, I'm a bit wary but it seems to tick all the right boxes. Affiliated with the Open University, the courses count towards a degree if you want to go down that route (considering this) and if you complete a lev 1 or 2 course and are a member of the RPS you automatically get a Licentiateship of the RPS (letters after your name )
Anyway I doubt anyone here has but just in case I thought I'd ask for some feedback
