Thank You.

I use a Canon 400D.

I think the first picture was taken using a Sigma 10-20mm Lens, the last was a Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon and the rest should be the Canon EF 50mm f1.4.

Fabulous shots! I don't have a great hand and struggle to go more than 1/30. I neeeed to get myself a tripod.

Great pics!!

I was lucky enough to use a Manfrotto 190XPROB until I purchased a Manfrotto 055XPROB, the 190XPROB is my fathers and it was too short for me.

Personally, depending on what you photograph, I decent tripod is a must - If you invest in one it should last a very long time, if not your lifetime.

some light painting shots...








some bog standard night shots:

I have to say I like the third and forth images that you've posted, not your everyday pictures, they pop/stand out IMO.
