Test photos with new lens - Canon EFS 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS

I got my new canon lens the other week and went out to take some photos. None of the images have been cropped to 100%. Most of the photos are at 250mm and are surprisingly sharp for a dull day (view actual size).

Anyway, let me know what you think

Wow!! :shocked: those are some awesome photos! I fell in love first sight. Can I have a link to your camera?

I seriously reccomend making a account on a stock photo site and posting them up seriously

Exellent photo's Henry, and I agree with Adil, get them on a proper photographic website and put a water mark on them to stop people using them without your permission or payment.
great photographic work there Henry, well done mate.

Really nice stock photos . Good job you should share some more

Thanks guys, not sure anyone would buy them but i'll upload them so people can at least look

I'll find some more when I get back to uni

Where do you recommend I upload, Istockphoto?

Yes defenitley. What camera is it? link Thanks.

Wow! Pricey. lol.

It's not to bad. They both hold value very well. Infact the lens went up in price. You can get the camera for about 200 on ebay or even less if you get just the body. Then the lens goes for about 180 on ebay.

The second one from the top is my favorite personally You got some skills!

Yeh. Very rich colour, especially in the water. The water in this photo looks like that without levels in Photoshop because of a handy Soya polarising filter.

Right! The water is what I like from that shot, it really captures it.

In that case, we have similar interest lol.

Yes, we might be. Oh and I just checked the camera you used and yep, it cost some though just like looking at those shots, it's worth the money, right? Are you a professional?

Far from it lol I'm only 19. Web Development is my thing anyway. The camera is worth the money and taking pictures is sort of just a hobby. I like to catch images which your eye would not normally see or pay attention to.

Then shoot some Auroras for me if you get the chance
