I've not been out on a good explore this year and starting to feel the itch. Hopefully that will change in the next month!
In the meantime here is one from the end of last year. After an early start and a bloody long drive across Luxembourg (petrol is sodding cheap there!) and into France we arrived at the Pottery. I was expecting a really big place with loads to see but once we were inside I was slightly disappointed. Then I had a look around and was pleasantly surprised with the amount of things to shoot.
I'd bought a new Sigma 12-24 Mk2 lens so, I thought, this was the perfect place to try it out! The verdict... what a piece of shit. I sent it straight back after I got home! Sooooooo much lens flare from the slightest bit of light through the roof or from an odd angle. I had to use a fair bit of exposure blending in PP so some of the shots do look a bit HDR-like. Hopefully not too much as I'm really not a fan of HDR. I ended up reverting back to my stock 24-105 for the remainder of my shots and this handles differing light sooo much better. Even my Samyang 14mm handles the light better than the Sigma.
Anyway, enough of my lens gripes. Here are some of the shots:
1.

3.

Thanks for looking!
