Eric,

Many thanks, sir. Turner is my favourite artist.

Matt,

Thanks for the kind words!

The foreground is being lit by a 20-25% Moon hanging about 15 degrees in the sky in the west.

I would much rather the 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM, for its extra stop of light and the beautiful diffraction spikes it creates at sunrise/sunset. But, for now, the 17-40mm f/4L USM will suffice.

The 17-40mm is not a bad lens. It's been my landscape workhorse for about 5 years now. I love it to bits. But, the extra stop means a lot now.

I will be either purchasing the Canon 14mm f/2.8L II USM or the 16-35mm before I head to Iceland in February.

Laurie,

Thank you, matey. I hope you're feeling better.
