Sensational boucha - esp the first. GND's?

[Boucher]

Thanks mate. Haha I wish I had some GND's...

Just HDR mate. didn't actually think these would turn out at the time but I guess they did.

Too bad I'm selling the 400D and 10-22 very soon. I'm going to miss it.

[troypiggo]

Well if they're both HDR, kudos to you. They look so natural. IMO that's exactly what HDR should look like. Great composition and photo, with the HDR bringing out the detail in highlights and shadow. Doesn't look overprocessed. So many seem to use HDR to make a crap photo look good. These are great photos made even better. :)

Why you selling the 400D and 10-22? Upgrading? What WA lens you going to? You seem to love it and have a knack for it.

But I digress - back to the 10-22 archive shots :)

Thanks mate. I started out very tonemapping happy. But I've since calmed down and prefer to make them more subtle.

Well funny story my best mate just bought a 5D, He's had it 1 day and now I've decided to buy one. I'll most likely just buy a 17-40 to use with it because I don't think I can stretch to a 16-35...

Now back to the pictures...

haha Tsmith too true. You really have it down as well. You can not tell that its a HDR.

Very nice mate.

how many swimming pools does that boat have? :shock:


I think there were at least three ... two outdoors and one in.

The ship was the Diamond Princess, which we took on an Alaskan cruise in August 2005.

[lexi73]

here is my first attempt HDR...its a little too much Tone mapped...ill have to step back and create a little less vibrant Image like boucha's.

Great shots all!

[Boucher]

That actually looks great for your first. It doesn't look too overdone but the sky does look little fake.

Keep it up. :)

+1

On a scale of 1-10 for an HDR, I would call this a solid 0. I like it because its not obviously HDR -- I could be convinced it was just awesome light and talent!

At last I got mine.

Abes of Maine were the only company that would deliver to my hotel - their prices are good and their service is exceptional.
I got the hood as well - it's a real bulky one.

I'm on a business trip in Pittsburgh and today and it was our first day out with this lens - we had it attached to my wife's 350D with the 17-55 on my 30D.

My wife and I tour a lot, but have very few pics with both of us - that just changed - I held the camera at arms length and got a few good shots of us together.

[Ron1004]

Another one.

[Newbie1981]

how can I tell if my 10-22 is soft? It sure feels like it is. What aperture shoul I use at 10mm, etc. This whole depth of field concept is a bit confuing to me. But my pics just aren't tack sharp.

Well I find my lens to be sharpest at f/8 to f/11 or so. But really you can shoot at f/5 and still get sufficient dof for most things but it won't be as sharp as it would shooting at f/8.

First 3 are nice. A lot of PP potential. The last one has the best sky, but is a bit more boring. ;)

I like how you utilized the close focus of the lens. OK, so I'll get this one then. :)

If shooting buildings from far away at 10 mm (for instance a skyline) should I see a lot of detail at 100% crop or not so much?

I ask because the pics look sharp unitl i view the full 100% pic. WHere the detail just does not look sharp at all.

I think this is common with wide-angle lenses, because you are looking at a very small image of familiar things, so they seem to have less detail than you'd like, but the fact is you've effectively blown it up very large when you're at 100%. The best way to demonstrate the effect is to print up your image - it'll probably look much better than you expect.

I ask because the pics look sharp unitl i view the full 100% pic. WHere the detail just does not look sharp at all.

Not so much is about right. Lets say your full image height is 2336 pixels and a particular building detail is 1/10 of that height. If you then zoom it to 100%, you are now looking at 233 pixels in the same space that was occupied 2336 pixels, it will look soft. Now some lenses do resolve to a greater number of lines per mm but the effect is still there. Even a 1080p, 60 inch, high-def TV doesn't look so great if you are watching it from 4 inches away. Try to avoid pixel peeping at objects that are fairly small in your original image. Now if an object that takes up half the frame from 12 inches away looks soft then there might be a problem.

If you have access to a nice wide screen monitor, set the resolution to 3500w x 2300h and see what a 20 inch print would look like. I bet you'll like it!

Ah I see, did you use high-speed bracketing and combine it in Photoshop with the combine to HDR function? etc. etc.

Sorry, saw you have a 20D, this technique works better with a 40D and its 6 fps. Much harder with a 20D I think.

I don't think 5 fps makes it 'much harder' than 6 fps.

High speed bracketing? Nope...keep talkin' :) But yes I did combine 3 exposures using PSP X2. I know next to nothing about good post processing. I'm still shaking off the rust to revive my once decent shooting technique.

Well, I assume the 20D is simular to the 40D. You set the exposure bracketing in the menu. Then set it to High Speed Burst. Then it should take 3 highspeed shots in a row but at different exposures.

Wow!
Finally I now have my 10-22 and all that's needed is to learn your composition skills.

I have a CPL but don't believe it's the super slim type - I'll give it a try this weekend and see if I need to get a slimmer one. I used the 10-22 for the first time this weekend and I'm very impressed - I don't think it'll see as much duty as my 17-55, but will sure be the runner up.

Tsmith, thats exactly the kind of shot i want to do!

This lens will be mine on my wedding anniversary. Then i'll be heading to Arizona and the land of landscapes. I'm currently in the land of telezooms - Florida (pretty ugly in landscapes but with cool criters to zoom in on).

Get low, a little practice and keep stay around f/8 ~ f/11.

The B+W F-Pro I have isn't the slim version but at the same time isn't as thick as their standard CPL.

Gorgeous shot Tsmith...

You should get some awesome results for sure. Too I know two Florida based nature photographers that do some of the best landscape stuff that I've seen from there.

This is F11, yes. I agree with you on the framing, could have done better. May be able to give it more on the right side but not the bottom. There's more sky and less ground.

[Boucher]

lol.. ok.

When you take a panorama you would set the camera in manual mode. So that the camera meter doesn't change the settings which would/does change the exposure from frame to frame.

A HDR is combining three exposure of the very exact scene to gain more dynamic range. A panorama is when the focal length you are using does not cover all that you want to capture so you take many photos and stitch them together in Photoshop.

The only thing I did to this photo in Photoshop was levels, curves, levels on the sky and sharpen.

there is a huge difference between a pano & an hdr or tonemapped image. the main one being that in a straight pano, the image is a faithful representation of how the camera + lens + photographer combo saw the scene on the day... with the single exception of field of view. so if lord alex wants to see how wide the lens performs, then boucha's photo is not a good example. otherwise, i think it illustrates a valid aspect of this lens's many applications (this pano looks different to one a 50mm might shoot, for example) - rather than pp software alone: which is where we would be with a tonemapped photo.

aside from all that - it looks great, nice job, specially handheld and with all those fiddly bits of tree

I've never seen any kinda of wide angle shot with that type of space compression. It's impossible for that to be anywhere near full frame crop even at 22mm. Please reveal a hint at your secrets. ;) I have my own theory.

It is a crop as you can see from the original...

Cropped it due to the rather distracting/untidy background.

care to share your theory now you have seen the un-cropped original?

[mattograph]

The only other theory available was it wasn't a 10-22mm lens!!!

At least you know he was paying attention!:)

do most of you manual focus when taking the wide-angle landscape shots?...i'm looking into getting a wide-angle...but know that my technique is going to need some work, as i don't have too much experience with landscapes

I don't think it matters much as long as you are taking a general 'true' landscape picture where your objects (mountains, seas, etc.) are far from you. I guess you can either set it manually to infinity, or simply set your aperture at at anything above f8 or 9... That's what I do. :)

[apersson850]

Another one, using the typically exaggerated perspective you can get, if you like to.

Guess it depends on what the closest object to the front of your lens and if you want it in focus and how far away it is. I just usually focus 1/3 into the frame.

[apersson850]

The depth of field is often so deep, that focus isn't that critical.

Looks like one that appears in home builder's brochure.

Nice.

[DreDaze]

sucks there's no fridge...but seems perfect for a real estate shot

[mattograph]

Thanks guys!

[digadv]

This looks like an awesome lens and it's next in my acquistion queue. Let me know if yours is just sitting around collecting dust :)

Depending on how you frame the shot and how much you push in, the 10-22 is an excellent portrait lens. The wide angle flattens the background, looks nice.

Couple from my recent trip to France. Most of the images in the galleries Normandy, Brittany and Loire Valley were taken with 10-22 lens

aridan that is sweet, I think it would be cooler if the camera was a bit higher so we could see the top of the hood. Sweet work nonetheless.

[mattograph]

A fellow Louisvillian. Welcome to the forums.

Nice shots, especially the MOH statue.

Just one tiny point......

This thread is for shots taken specifically with the CANON 10-22mm lens. It used as part brag book, part reference point for those considering the lens.

I gather from your sig that you shot it with the Sigma 10-20 on Nikon equipment.

If thats the case, these would be more appropriate in the photo sharing section, either under travel and landscapes, or urban life.

(of course, if you actually shot it with the canon 10-22 -- you're in the right place!):)

Thanks,

I'm still trying to find a Manfrotto adjustable arm to give me more play and adjustment with regards to the camera's position. Right now, my rig setup calls for the camera to be suspended right off the boom. Once I get the arm, I'll be able to bring the camera a bit higher. :)

Are you doing this from a motorcycle or another car?

[danny87]

Looks like its from a rig.

[mattograph]

Sorry.

Rig on a bike or car?

[Radiohead369]

Rig on that car. I just checked the persons flickr. Rig for sure. Very nice photo btw.

Hi all,
Just got my 10-22mm a week ago..
Still learning....

That is awesome!!!!!

I recognize the bogen clamp on the end. Did you fashion the mast yourself?

How much did this thing cost to build? I know you didn't buy it.

[blam]

those cups are about 100-150$ a pop + the painters boom and then the clamp + tripod head. I am guessing aobut 3-400

[mattograph]

I am now curious to see what I can rig up to hang off the hitch on my truck.

Are those cups shock absorbers?

probably not a good idea....they are pump action cups which is why they look so bulky.

There has to be an easy way to do this from a trailer hitch.......

[blam]

is it a hidden hitch?

take the ball out and make a rig that goes where the ball would....

looks good but it feels a bit 'tall' - might need to squish the pic a little bit top to bottom to restore a more normal proportion

Yes.

I'm kind of torn here: don't know if it works best as it is or If It were better without the tobacco grad.

[mattograph]

I like the effect. Most folks would try to gard the entire sky. I like how you just handled the immediate foreground.

[Derric]

Dear all,

I am very impressed and inspired with all the shots taken with Canon 10-22mm.
Though I am very new to photography and my new Canon 450D, i decided to rent the lens and brought it along with me to Maldives for some landscape shots.

You bet, I absolutely has no regrets with my hasty decision then.

Here i am sharing with all my humble shots:) I welcome any comments to improve on my skills.


Cheers

That will work too! :D

[silverwolf]

I have a question to everybody that has this lens im still in the learning stage but here it goes.I tried this lens out yesterday, when i got home i then blew it up pixel peeping, it can be really soft at 10mm but i applied some sharpness to it and the picture came out, better that is.

Im just wondering if it is a good idea of buying this lens or just get a 17-40L i just dont want to get it and it be a dust collecter its a fine lens.Oh and it will be on a 40D hehe.Thanks Sean .L

And here is a quick and dirty test shot with it this is my baby.Exif SS 1/100 AP F10 Focal length 10mm and i applied alittle USM.

[mattograph]

Nice pic.

Looks like you already have the focal length covered with the 18-55, so buying the 17-40 would just duplicate that. Of course, you get the constant aperture and a tough build.

I have the 10-22 and the 17-40. They compliment each other well. I have more fun with the 10-22, and use it quite a bit for real estate.

[John_TX]

FWIW, I really like the 17-40L and my next purchase will probably be the Canon 10-22.

[silverwolf]

Thank you.The 18-55 is ok but its too cheap for my taste so i think either the 10-22 or the 17-40 will take care of that.:p Sean .L

[John_TX]

I'd say get the 10-22 first, since you already have the 28-135. I got the 28-135 as part of the kit, so it really didn't cost me much.
I'm currently using it as more of a short telephoto and hope to eventually sell it for the 70-200L f4. Who knows though, I might just keep it as a bang-around/rough condition/loaner lens, as 45-216 is pretty handy for a one-size fits all solution.

[silverwolf]

thank you john.i been thinking about getting both the 10-22 and 17-40 and sell my 28-135 but before i sell it i need the 70-200 ive been eyeing that one too.

A perfect kit would be 10-22 24-70L 2.8 70-200 f4 i dont know about the 24-70L if i think i will never go full frame this might be a good route to take.Sean .L
