Great set of shots Martin. Saw your mention on SW.com. Love the last image with the inversion starting to set up over the valley, beautiful colors. Is the 24-70mm L glass?

Thanks Mark and Richard for the comments. Yes that's an L 24-70mm USM lens, a beauty it is too but no IS on that one.

Cheers Paul, that's the end of the Sun now, I don't know what to photograph from looking at the latest forecast, roll on Spring.
That's the first time I've picked up a sunspot on camera without using a solar filter, I'm always wanted to get a disk shot on the horizon with a sunspot visible so it felt good to catch that one, just need some monster naked eye spots now for a more dramatic scene, hopefully 2011 will produce them.

Thanks very much Dave and John - getting dust spots on my sensor now from changing lenses too much, the air blower is not getting rid of them all. I had the lens stopped down between F/30 and F/40 for the disk shots.

Thanks very much Anton, I was trying again today but alas I was clouded out. Round 2 tommorow, got to love shooting sunsets with a long lens, there's always great potential. On yes...BBC Sky & Night mag and aurora observing, cheers
