Bad info and a good lens

It's apparently not just fishing forums where advice is given by people who don't have a clue, it's photography forums too (and no doubt every other specialist hobby forum). Misinformation is the norm.

And asking for an opinion about something (a photo or equipment) only results in as many saying yea as nay. I really do wonder what the purpose of the forums is. More to the point why do I keep looking at them?!!

Funny how you sometimes take photos that work as pairs. Two from today, not my best efforts, that seem to share a sense of colour and composition.

Both photos taken with the 24mm lens that's hardly been off one of my bodies since I bought it about a month ago. It just seems to suit me (on a crop sensor) for all sorts of uses, not just wandering round town. Zooms are great for wildlife and anything where  the subject is active or when you are under pressure to get a shot, but they can make you lazy. I like the simplicity of primes and the way they make you think about composition. Primes seem to force you to look at subjects in a different, more intense, way.
