just had enough time to get down to rhosilli again ...wasn't planning on going there but just seemed to end up there..but i didn't have enough time to get to the helvitia wreck and my knees gave out on the way down to the beach so i was limping  everywhere so i just plonked my butt on the dunes and worked the area to see what i could get with my new lens (tokina 11-16 f2.8) ...it was so much fun climbing back up to the carpark ..not

Great shots of a glorious location at a perfect time of day.

You will love that Lens , It is one of my favourites and it seems to bring the sky alive ! Such a versatile piece of kit too

Great for astro photography (3200 ISO, a 20 second exposure on manual focus to infinity) , landscapes and especially inside buildings where you can get the whole room in !

Have fun with it  :)....and more pics Rybear !

Great set Rybear, I have the Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f2.8 PRO DX which is also a great lens.

not sure about the new lens yet..my old lens was a sony 11-18 f4-5.6 and the problem i was getting the af seems to clunk ..its really sharp close up but i cant get much sharpness with distant objects when focused on infinity...the new lens seems almost as sharp close up but is much better at distant objects..its about the same with lens flare..which both are bad at but the f2.8 aperture is much better then the f4 of the sony so it  should be much better at astro

What a grand set that is Ryland .. timed to perfection as David said.  Hard to choose a favourite...though maybe #2 because of that double sunburst .......or #4 ....with that sky .... or #3 showing great contrasts .. or ..... you get the gist ...

Beautiful. We call the path in the first one 'collywobble way', as it gives me the collywobbles walking up it!
