Default Learning the 'NiftyFifty Shuffle'

I've been taking my NiftyFifty for a walk at lunch times to get acquainted & learning that it is the lens that gets me to walk.

I had to shuffle back & forwards along the tow path to compose this shot - rather than just turn my wrist. It's a whole new approach & I'm beginning to enjoy it

Lancaster Canal at Ellel Grange Bridge (just down the drive from the office)

Gorgeous shot, I love the reflections! Your "shuffling" certainly paid off!

Beautiful picture agbeard. BTW I was in Lancaster myself this week visiting Leighton Moss RSPB site. Had a great day there, but no pics as good as yours. Many thanks.
