Walkabout
Went shooting with Ron the other day, but unfortunately we didn't really have any idea where to go, so here are the results:
Kicking off with the railway station. These are railway switches.
Tracks. The sky sucks when you don't put on the polarizer.
View along the outside of the Station Master's office.
Kitten!
After that, it's the district and land office. The jury's still out on the performance of my recently bought EF 28-90mm III lens though. Some shots like this one came out surprisingly sharp - much sharper than my 18-55mm kit lens in fact. What you see here was just cropped, with no software sharpening done.
But some like this weren't that sharp and I had to rely on a little software sharpening.
Hate the govenance, love the country.
The nearby local council building.
Macro shot of some insect I found hiding in the nearby bushes.
The south face of the land office.
Another angle of the same face.
At the lake gardens. Just love this shot, with its warm evening colours.
Water running down some rocks. Too bad the pipe was in the way.
View of one of the lakes. Took a shot of the same lake a few weeks ago.

Aside from the occasional sharpness streak (instead of being sharp all the time), it also suffers from a focusing problem, often focusing on the background instead of the object when the aperture's wide open. But I guess one gets what one pays for, and for SGD60, a mint condition lens to bridge the gap between my 18-55mm and 90-300mm isn't too bad at all.
