While being shown around Newcastle by Stubbsy today, we (Dad, myself and Stubbsy) saw a bunch of the bikes from the Toy Run parked along where we were walking and we figured that we could get some good shots out of them.

Here's some of what I got:















and... this little girl...



The rest of the images can be found here.

1,2 and 7 are insane, great perspective
your black and whites are impressive

whoose 12-24 were you using? I doubt you bought one

At a guess I'd say Stubbsy
Leigh you've used the 12-24 to create some great perpectives, I love the lower front on perspective.

Very nice images Leigh, very nice indeed..

Yep - my 12-24 and I've left it with him to play with for the week.

Leigh - #3 is a great candid, although I'm guessing that the subjects won't like the treatment. Of the rest #5 works best of the fish eye effect shots and #7 of the chrome exhausts is damn fine too.

This was great fun since, at the risk of sounding dumb, it has never occurred to me to use the close up distortion of the 12-24 to such effect - I've only ever used it for wide shots.

You know Stubbsy, when I first started shooting car photos... probably when I was around 12 or 13... I would use a 28mm to get wide at different angles with cars because I thought that aside from fitting the entire vehicle in, it also made people look at the subject from such a different angle they would have to like it!!!

Also, light bounces differently at the lower angles.

I don't know if the subjects won't like the treatment.
I've left a colour one of them, at least two in fact, on my server for them with the link at the bottom of the post... and as we said to them before... I take the more arty pictures...

Very very effective I say, love the perspective from 12-24 lens, and really like the B/W images, nice work and different.

Leigh, not bad mate. All look good and seems that lens works well.
I would like a wider lens, but yeh who knows and ii do love the 18m end of the kit lens, anyhow done well as usual.
