Took this one today in California. I had a polariser fitted and have tweaked it a bit. The sky was amazing, no airbrushing...

Dam the latest addition sof shots are sweet!!

Geejay - That is supurb, was it a long exposure, well thats wat it looks like!! Brilliant

Royv - That is such a nice shot, so sharp, really nice work

p33evv - That last shot is brilliant, maybe b&w, then it's a brilliatn wall hanger!

[Photo_Rebel]

p33we, was that fog or water movement exposed through long shutter speed?

[Matt Peters]

It was long shutter speed, 2 shots at 10mm and one at 20mm I think?

Nearly got soaked on the second shot, as I jumped of the rocks a massive one covered where I was standing! Haha ..

I may convert to B&W see how it look! :D

[willy b]

Shooting long exposure on the beech is fun! Remember when i was on holiday i tried it, and was just taking teh shot when a big wave came, so i had to grab the camera and tripdod and run. Didn't get wet, but did break my tripod, and spent 1 hour looking for this part in teh dark lol

[Bioshock]

k, I have to post another. Definitely a great lens.

[Linkzi]

Thanks! Not HDR, it is a Lightroom preset, (http://inside-lightroom.com/colour.php) RAW #3, with some mods. I think it was included in the "download all" link. Shot with a CPL.

No, it should be open to all grade levels, including higher ed. I'm out of school, so I used my daughters.

EDIT: Buy it direct from Adobe for the same price for higher ed. Eligibility from Adobe is here. (http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=25f26dd&sliceId=2)

browsed this thread for a couple weeks and been checking back pretty regularly. you all convinced me to get a 10-20 and it just got here today! i should have some shots up later after work to show off. loving it so far, and also how cool it even looks especially on the camera (stupid i know :) )

[00silvergt]

Nice shot Darran, and the steering wheel is on the correct side too!

It's on the "right" side...I don't know if that's the "correct" side. LOL

Skyline's are gods and while I'm loving the GT-R 35, I'll miss the idea of the RB engine. You could build that thing up to almost an HP. It was a beast. The Whale owns all. :D

Florida, yeah... Rather warm every time of year? Well then, Brisbane would be a nice cool change haha

[_aravena]

I would like a change. Although this winter has been so off. 40 degrees one week and 80 the next. Changed daily a few times as well. Never the less, I want to go there so bad. Heard so many things, almost went last winter. Was going to go to Aussieland as well, got friends in both places.

[-spam-]

Well its what, Autumn now and we are getting pretty consistent 25/26 C. The summer was weird, coolest one on record in Brisbane and the wettest one we have had in years.

We only had a handful of days that were over 30 C.

Yeah that's how it is in the Philippines, but if he bought it from an authorized dealer then he's got no problems with guarantees and warranties. I bought a grey unit here in Sydney for Au$535. Had to return it because it had decentering issues. Seller says there's nothing wrong with it but that's a different story.

Can you get onto deviant art? Try the link in my sig, i dont have a lot of stuff on there but a fair bit goes up every now and then.

This lens is very impressive. Nice pics in this thread. Is there really any reason to purchase the Canon over this one? It doesn't seem like it when you compare the images.

[Canon Soldier]

yes, the levels of distortion are waaaay lower. I'ts also got faster focusing and more reach, if that means anything to you. Also, many people say it has better IQ, but thats for you to decide.

[MGW172]

yes, the levels of distortion are waaaay lower. I'ts also got faster focusing and more reach, if that means anything to you. Also, many people say it has better IQ, but thats for you to decide.


Hmm.....I have to disagreee about the "waaaay" lower. Look at photozone's distortion test, Sigma at 10mm beats the Canon by twice the amount, then loses out at 14mm by a significant margin, but then gets really close to Canon again at 20mm (vs Canon at 22mm). I think with the wide angles there has to be some optimization at certain focal lengths. Sigma seems to have decided to do it at 10mm, Canon at 14 and they are very close together at 20-22mm.......but I don't see either being so much better than the other to characterize one as the winner.

So many incredible shots with this lens! I was looking for a wide angle, and almost went with the Canon glass. Glad I found this forum, since I'm going to order this lens and save a few bucks. Before I do though, has anyone had any problems with this and a 400D? I see quite a few signatures with them so I assume everyone is happy. I read as many pages as I could in this thread, but my eyes will fall out before I can finish all 68! Anything I should be aware of before ordering one? Thanks!

Welcome! I was like you looking at the Canon, but for the 2mm extra reach and the $200 Canon wants for theirs, along with the weaker warranty it was almost a no brainer that this lens wins. Some however do claim that the Canon is sharper, I yet have to see conclusive evidence of this, I don't own the Canon so I can't speak of it. But I know I tried them both on my 30D and they looked identical, so it was easy for me to make up my mind.

Yep, and who in their right mind would optimize an ultra wide for anything but it's shortest focal length? I'll take the optimized distortion at 10mm anyday. Probably 90% + of my wigma shots are at 10mm.

just took the plunge and ordered my 10-20 today! It should be here on Friday, can't wait!

Just recieved the lens from Hong Kong, 5 days delivery. It was 34% cheaper in HK compared to my local dealer in Sweden, here's some test shots in HDR;

Will a regular 77mm filter work on this lens? For some reason I think I remembered reading that it doesn't.

What say you?

I think it can, pretty sure I have a cheap 77mm filter on mine and I don't think I've had problems with vignetting

here's a different perspective on a sport of mine

Nice shot!^^^

Great use of this lens! :)

[pr0digal]

You guys have convinced me!

I just ordered this lens, I can't wait until it arrives!

Spidermaxx, those shots in the peaks?

Yangstar - brilliant shot!

[Lars Leber]

It is a great lens for interior shots where something really wide is needed..

Ooo, interesting shot, Lars. Is this HDR or color/exposure level change?

[Lars Leber]

Thanks. It is HDR with some additional post-processing.

No, it's in the same area, but not quite into the peak district.

This is a fantastic shot, is the vehicle lit naturally by the moon, or was a quick burst of flash used?

[willy b]

Tariq - Another Brilliant shot!

spidermaxx

thanx and as I said to Mr. willy

it was pure moon lighting but actually if you want to balance between stars and balanced car lighting you have to chose the perfect day (not full moon) because the light of full moon will eat any lighting :D

willy b http://www.cars-club.com/vb/images/smilies/friends.gif

thanx and the two pictures were in same conditions but the angle was different and I think the colors from 10-20 is better but the 17-70 take advantage of 2.8 (to low the ISO)

[PhotoFred225]

this image wasnt cropped and no PP was done. i was happy with it just like that. anyone else see something different?

Nice, although only thing i would do is clone out the 2 "things" on the left of the photo.

I should've left the cooler in the pic with an open brewski... Then it will be closer to it. :wink:

[whazzzzuup]

Amazing shots, everyone! I am looking for a copy right now. Can any of you guys point me in the right direction? The classifieds aren't abundant with these at the present time. The cheapest I've found is $442 shipped new. Is that a decent price?
