    Huge congrats at getting this published at OE, Dave. Can you tell me what focal length you were using here please?

  • David Haviland replied

    Will check EXIF when I get home, but from memory it was taken with the 18-55 and I think it was more in the 30-55 range.

    Thanks Dave, as I suspected. Since I shoot wide so often I don’t get this kind of shot much…must remember to take a telephoto too :D

    Just checked, 37mm on the 350D, so would be about 55mm on FF camera.
