Another photographic trip with my mates over and done with. This time we went to Old St Pauls in Wellington (http://www.historicplaces.org.nz/placestovisit/lowernorthisland/oldstpauls.aspx). This is a wonderfully rich in wood building. A photographer's dream!
Most of my photos were shot with +2 exposure bracketing which on the Canon 600D means 3 shots. These were pulled into Photomatix for HDR processing. Needless to say I am very pleased with the results.
Back to the Tamron 18-270mm f3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD lens.
Pros: This lens were very useful since it allowed me the ability to take shots ranging from full wide angle to nicely zoomed in, without changing lenses.
Cons: All pics were shot using a tripod, but for the first hour I forgot to switch off the VC!! Nooooo. So many lost pics. On my big screen I could clearly see the blur caused by the VC.
Regarding image stabilizing. The Canon 18-55mm kit lens is better at managing IS on a tripod. However, I would recommend switching off IS using a tripod even with a Canon lens.
So here are some images to enjoy, while I plan my next trip back to the church to re-take those missed shots.
