Right, Archie suggested I start one of these here as well - so blame him

I'll start off with some more Players shots from last week (great show btw, well worth the trip over) in addition to the ones I posted in another thread here

QUOTE I really like your pictures ( those on flicker account too )
Thanks, its nice to get positive feedback.
QUOTE I know you shooting with D60 . What lenses ?
All of the above were taken with the lens that spends 99% of its time on my camera, the Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 EX HSM - I love this lens. I occasionally use a 50mm f1.8 but I don't find the difference in aperture is enough to warrant swapping them over very often, especially not at shows.

I have tamron 17-50 2.8 , so its very simillar to yours . I love mine too . Its so versatile , specialy when shooting movies .
As for 50mm i dont like it for shows because on crop body you need hell lot of space to feet anything in frame

Not suede, they look & feel like felt, but yeah, probably flocked because there were no creases visible at all which would be nigh on impossible with actual material. Impractical as hell, but damn they look good
