a few days in Cornwall coming up

[DarrenT]

i have a few days in Cornwall coming up and splashed out on the Sigma 10-20mm EX DC HSM lens to try some landscape stuff. i also picked up some kood filters (1x 1stop grad, 2x 2 stop grad, 1x 1 stop ND, 2x 2stop ND, Circular Polariser) in the hope that i can relax on my break and get plenty of practise in with my sorely under used D80.

We are staying in the Newport area but i'll have wheels to get about and just wondered if anyone had any specific locations to visit?

I saw this was rather old.I sure wish I had somn advice for you but since I am in Colorado and no where near where you want to go I really have nothing to offer.
With that being said, how was your trip? Would love to see some images

I have the Sigma 10-20mm & use it with Cokin ND grad - be sure only to use one filter at a time i.e. you might need to take off your UV/Skyligt 'protective' filter. The reason for this is the very wide viewing angle & you could well run into vignetting problems.

ENJOY Cornwall - I holidayed there a year ago. The ledgedary light that drew all the artists down to the SW coast is amazing

Not sure if this is too late but try Tintagel. There is also a place near there call St Necterns Glen, apparently it has a nice waterfall, I've not made it there yet though.

Be sure to check out some of the old mine ruins. Cornwall has some amazing old mine structures (and some newer ones too), with awesome rock textures and shapes.
