Difficult lens? At f/8 I don't even look through the viewfinder, which sadly lead to heavy cropping to get things straight again. Otherwise the entire sun would have been in the frame. And McLaren? Why do they need a picture if an Oreca?
Thought the “52” car was powered by McLaren. Was thinking thats what raced 24 Hrs Daytona. Don’t really follow LMP2, prefer GTLM. I have the 16mm 2.8 which confounds me from time to time.

Anyway. Sell it to Oreca !
I guess there may have been a McLaren presence when Alonso was a the 24h of Daytona. They ran some Oreca similar to this one. I wasn't there. This particular car didn't finish the race, as it's only LMPT2 competitor. No podium, as the only two cars in the class didn't even make it half way At least they looked good in my images until they dropped out.
Here are some from Michigans UP. A old time village that has become an attraction. Note the distortion of the end shot of one building. It's just that way and not the lens,
Shimla is really nice and a complete contrast to "normal" India, we only saw the Himalayas a couple of times but they're an amazing sight aren't they?
This really is the last one from Shimla, probably my favourite portrait I took whilst in India. This guy was just sat in the middle of the street (one of the pedestrianised ones from previous shots but not the main one The Ridge.), note the blanket to stay warm but even then not enough protection if the guy was homeless I wouldn't have thought.
Only 1 question remains though - Colour or Black & White ?

Agree with Ken on the colour version because b&w loses the effect. But the monochrome brings out the gritty feel of being homeless more, if that's the person's situation.

From a terrific exhibit currently at the Toledo Museum of Art, the Anila Quayyum Agha: Between Light and Shadow. Only three sculptures in total, but very enjoyable. m43 camera with the 50 f1.4 AIS on a straight adapter, no focal length correction (so FOV of 100mm).
Has anyone on this thread used DxO Photolab? I'm using a trial version and find it very easy to use and like the effects - always used PSE 12 + Nik Efex but this seems quicker and more sophisticated.
I use DXO Photo Lab, I love it! Its got great features and very inexpensive. I love the extension of the the film pak. The latest version has just as many features as my version of Lightroom 5 that I utilize.
