So. Hampton Court Flower Show.
Quite a disappointing year, gardens-wise. And not many of them. And fewer things to see and buy in general.
Also, unbelievably hot, especially inside the giant marquees.
But still an enjoyable day, despite all that.
And this lens is definitely growing on me. For a while I was worried the AF was broken, it was hunting like crazy even in good light. Then I discovered I had the camera in a strange AF mode, and it picked up.
I've done minimal editing on these, they're mostly straight from the camera, taken with a polarizer, with a little bit of clarity and vibrance tweaking. So yes, I'm pretty pleased with it :) Still not 100% convinced on the image stabilisation, but Lightroom 3's sharpening is so good that I haven't felt the need to test it thoroughly yet.
