Clarence Dock or New Dock Leeds?<\/h1>\n

I’ve always referred to it as Clarence Dock, but the area was rebranded “New Dock Leeds” in 2012 according to Wikipedia (http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Clarence_Dock_(Leeds)<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Either way, the blend of architecture and water makes for a great place to photograph – even on dull days, dusk photos look great once the lights come on.<\/p>\n

New Dock Leeds through a Sigma 12-24mm Lens<\/span><\/h2>\n

The purpose of this shoot was to try out a Sigma 12-14mm lens – I’ve shot with the Canon 17-40 dozens of times, would the extra 5mm make much difference?<\/p>\n

Here’s a shot with the 17-40 at 17mm<\/p>\n

And here is the 12-24 at 12 mm<\/p>\n

\"leeds-clarence-dock-evening-april-2014_0103_4_5\"<\/a>So as you can see, it does make a big difference – you can see all of the Armouries building on the left and all of the roundish building on the right.<\/p>\n

It does open up a world of new possibility for city shooters.<\/p>\n

The biggest issue with the lens is that you can’t really fit a polariser of filter system – it comes with a filter ring “thing” which slides on to the front of the lens. However, you get round photos if you use it… vignette is an understatement… it’s properly round.<\/p>\n

So it’s HDR all the way – and here are 13 photos taken last night, all bracketed images (-2\/0\/+2 EV)<\/p>\n
