"comparisons"
Inspired title from comparing this image with the first time I shot it with my old kit and set up! Also since taking this image the first time they have removed the collision bollards from the Tyne which helps with the reflections and also on a calmer night would have given ace reflections!

Had a cracking &quot;neet oot doon the toon&quot; with <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/16125468@N05/">Alan Dingwall</a> as we braved the elements from a bitter cold wind to a few snow showers! But a cracking night wandering the quayside and experimenting with lenses and angles! 

Before I got the Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 I'd read a lot of comments about lens flare and Tokina brought out the version II of this lens with a coating to prevent flare. However, I am pleasantly pleased that it's not an issue for me, I found that even shooting next to or into bright street lights caused no problems at all, in fact I reckon my old Sigma 10-20mm had more issues than this lens. But most pleasing are the starbursts!!
