The Ultra Wide Angle Thread

[spiraleyes]

Jim, I have been looking at that Sigma for about a week. I will order it on Monday.

Haha, lens fever?

It really is fun to use. I can't believe how saturated the sky looks in nearly every picture with that lens.

Boy I haven't posted a picture here in a long time

Here are two from last summer, both with the 19mm fisheye on my Mamiya.

Taken with the Panasonic LX3 - 24mm - a great p&s with 16.9mm format




Tokina 11-16 lens....before I sold this beauty!

[Frog]

ah...i wasn't even looking at that one...I'll run a test tomorrow or just go ahead and give it a blow. Doesn't show on the unedited ones so think it might have something to do with that. Might have done an extra click when i was cloning the tree line.
Thanks!

Here's another - this is the Crystal Cathedral in LA.

Without the 12-24 I would have never been able to get this group shot. I was up against the wall and the 12-24 set at 15mm still gave me working room.

OT - great shot - nice use of the 12-24. BTW, was this available light? More encouragement for me. Tomorrow the sun is supposed to come out for the first time in a while - very gray day today so I'm going to work hard to get some time off tomorrow. I have a date with the Tokina.

Thanks you Liz. I shot this for a summer Reading Festival billboard. I had great available light coming from the front and the right of the subjects, but I did supplement with fill from the SB800 with Gary Fong tubberware attached.

Bump for some more amazing WA pics!

[deckcadet]

Well, I just shot a bunch of stuff for our "Grad-Tab", a mini-issue that we put in in April to recap stuff for Seniors and features a bunch of places around campus that the graduates might want to take their graduation pictures at. I shot it all with the Nikon 14-24mm on the D3, so I think that qualifies as ultrawide

All of these are shot at 14-15mm, f/11-16.

Ben Hill Griffin, Jr. Stadium at Florida Field- "The Swamp"- the toughest place to play in College Football.

Great use of the wide Harrison. Love the shots of the Swamp!

Great thread, it's about time to get it goin' again. My most recent W/A...
Shot with the Sigma 10-20 Captured @ 15mm.

[Robusto]

some great shots here makes me dream of having something wider than my basic 14-45mm

[spiraleyes]

Woot! Great thread bump!

New ones from me:

[DrRoebuck]

Did someone say ultra-wide? With the exception of the last one, these were all taken at 14mm with the 14-24/2.8; some with the D300 but most with the D700. I use my 24-70/2.8 as my everyday lens with Full Frame, so sadly the 14-24mm has been relegated to specialty use. L.A. River. Same day ... Different part of the L.A. River on a different day. Angels Gate Park in San Pedro. Saddle Peak Road in the SM Mountains. Soda Lake. Soda Lake. On the Big Island in Hawai'i. Same island, different day Harbor Freeway in Downtown.

[Robusto]

Confused? so does that mean i cannot put up anything at 14mm on my 14-45mm lens

[Axle]

Sigma 10-20mm 1:4-5.6
Nikon D300 @ ISO-1600 (for most, outdoor one at ISO-100)
