Got this lens recently to help simplify my kit. Love the colors, something about this lens really just works, and it is even better when the clouds and ancient gods cooperate, if not the local construction companies:

Hello everyone! I've been a member here since 2008, and I've scrolled through hundreds of thread pages and seen countless quality photos, but never have I written a post! And so today I just thought it was about time I shared some of my own work :D So here it is! I just came back from a two hour walk with my camera around a castle close to where I live. You can see the castle far in the background in this photo. It's an 8 image HDR, taken with my 1DmkIV and the 16-35 at f/7.1. I've only done a few HDRs ever, so I'm still learning to do them, and there are a few problems with some edges here and there. Happy with the overall result though!

Thank you very much! Well, I don't know really. I've just been looking around at everyone else's work! But I've done extensive research here about every piece of gear I've bought over the last 4 years! So in that aspect I guess I've been quite active :D!

[Thieme]

Came back to the same place at 4 in the morning to shoot the sunrise. Got home with quite a few new HDR's. The sky is really annoying though. I think there was some movement in the leaves too, but it looks fine at higher resolution than 1024px.

I post this question here as it pertains the 16-35 mm in my case....
its about grad filters, cokin and lee are notoriously difficult to get for this wide a lens (wide enough to not end up getting vignetting), and if you can get them with the holders etc they cost a complete bomb!

my friend had a smart moment and said, perhaps if you go a step bigger (medium format) they may be more readily available and cheaper and then just use a step down ring to make it fit on this and other lenses.

i like the idea but dont know where to begin to see if this is at all possible and affordable....yes i could go to a shop and ask and try but was thinking i best ask here first to see if i would get any problems/issues at all i currently dont know of.

Thanks a lot for any input

It's a great shot, but the clouds definitely ruin things. I would try layering in one of the single shots on top of the HDR and then just mask the clouds out - using just the clouds from the single shot.

Hi Marco! I use the Lee filter system with an 82mm wide angle adapter. I bought it from Ebay for £109.00 + shipping. Sure there are way cheaper alternatives, but I like the build quality and it's probably going to last me a lifetime.
I did a quick search on Amazon and Ebay and found THIS (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Maxim-adapter-49mm-82mm-Adaptor-Supplies/dp/B005Q0J6GS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1339775999&sr=1-1) for only £30. It might be worth a try! :)

Hi Thanks for the info....in the end i went with the cokin P system, as it saves me a lot of $$ and I am only a hobbyist, the cost of this with filters in HK$ is about 3/4 of the Xpro system, so I thought lets try this first, if im really getting into it I can easily say this was learning money. one limitation for this is i can shoot max 24 mm wide, any wider and i get vignetting. shoot pano's instead when necessary i suppose? not sure if there are any issues with shooting pano's with filters, alinment etc.

I'm going on a cruise in two days and was thinking of renting one of these for a week to put on my T2i as the walk-around lens. Ships have tight spaces, so I figured it would be a good choice. I have a couple questions if you have a few extra seconds:

1. How does this lens compare to the mark I version?

2. Since I'm attaching it to a crop sensor, would I be better off renting the 10-22 EF-s, or is the image quality of the 16-35 worth giving up the extra width the 10-22 would provide?

3. Is there a better option for a cruise (and stops in Mexico, Belize and Honduras)?

Thanks for your opinions and your time.

The 16-35 is a fantastic lens let me start there and don't let me talk you out of renting it but... On the crop I'm thinking that renting the Canon 17-55 might be a better choice than the 16-35. The 17-55 will give you more flexibilty as a walk around and it's plenty wide enough for what you need I'm thinking. The 10-22 is an UWA and it's very wide and it's a very nice lens, you just have to ask yourself if you really need that wide? I rented both the 17-55 and the 10-22 for my 60D last year for a Sedona / Grand Canyon trip and ended up using the 17-55 about 90% of the time...even at the Grand Canyon, and I ended up buying one. Just my thoughts, I'm interested to see what other have to say as well. Good luck and have fun on your trip.

Look into a 15-85 , perfect walkaround for crop.

[mkmusil]

I rented the 16-35 2.8 II and used it on my crop T1i and absolutely fell in love with it. I don't think on a crop body you could go wrong with this or a 17-55 for landscapes. For walking around, maybe go for the bigger zoom. My 2 cents. This shot is in Red Rock Canyon. I am now saving up for a 16-35 2.8 II.

[pixel_junkie]

Hi, photoshop and lightroom both.

[x1zz1x]

30" 30" 15" 30" 10". EXIF is intact though, if you have a reader.



yeah, I used to HATE the idea of the 16-35II when it came out because I was a 77 guy and it's an 82 lens. But now I use Lees pretty much exclusively so I just needed a $50 82mm UWA ring and my panels work just the same. I have a full set of GNDs, a 10 stopper and a CPL (in 4x4 format). For these I was just using the 4x4 CP, except 5 that also has a 2.5 stop GND slid in sideways!

Those are really cool pictues. Great post on the GND :)

Fantastic pic and thank you. I leave tomorrow!

I rented the 16-35 2.8 II and used it on my crop T1i and absolutely fell in love with it. I don't think on a crop body you could go wrong with this or a 17-55 for landscapes. For walking around, maybe go for the bigger zoom. My 2 cents. This shot is in Red Rock Canyon. I am now saving up for a 16-35 2.8 II.

Awesome to know it'd work relatively well with the T1i. I've been debating between the 16-35II and the 10-22mm for the longest time. You got me sold. :P

Lee CP for all of them, some sort of hard Lee GND for all as well, just whichever made it work right exposure wise.

Ben are u using the CPL to cut glare or enhance reflections or more just as a ND filter alternative?

[jacobsen1]

Ben are u using the CPL to cut glare or enhance reflections or more just as a ND filter alternative?

yes! :lol:

I'm almost always shooting water of some sort, so for reflections as a big part, then partially for longer exposures but closer to sunrise, and then also for the color and contrast boost. Images look much less flat once I drop it in. At this point I just start with it in the front slot and usually even a GND before I even take my first image in the morning.

[Jef96]

nice processing mate. :D

Thanks Tomcat, sadly I can't take the credit as Photomatix did all the hard work ;-)

But what a save, the originals are very dull and flat! If you've not tried bracketing and using HDR with this lens, I suggest you give it a try, I can't believe how this one turned out.

Good luck,

Jeff

Nice work Todd - what are u using to illuminate the foreground?

Rob, I use a variety of light sources ranging from flashlights, to speed lights, lanterns, and even open flame. In this case, this is a reflected and bounced flashlight.

Todd, I remember seeing start trail shots of you as well with lit foregrounds.....would you mind sharing with me how you do that, is only 1 frame with the froeground lit? or would you have to light the f/g for every shot you are going to stack? which i think would be a problem.....

Marco

Hey Marco, with star trails I usually blend a single exposure in for the foreground. Lighting multiple frames proves to be difficult(I've done it a few times for timelapse and it's hard as hell to get consistent light)

[macobee]

Thanks Todd, does the software automatically pick up the light? or do you need to blend all other thogether first and then blend the lit one in as last step?

Im asking as im on my way to the jungle in the philippines soon and really want to try this out

Im asking as im on my way to the jungle in the philippines soon and really want to try this out

Yes, exactly.... I do a blend of 30+ shots and then bring the results into PS and blend in an additional frame over the top - masking out th sky and then later opacity to taste.

I'm jealous, that's gonna be a great trip... Have fun!

Got this lens from a friend instead of a 17-40.
Really like it. Still learning to shoot wide angle :D

Ben,

With the Sabbaday Falls images, is there any supplemental light or is all natural? HDR?

Thanks,

all natural light and single exposures. I DO use a Lee Circular Polarizer though (the 4x4 panel version) and GNDs as needed. I'm not really against HDRs but I'm terrible at processing them so I never do them.

As single exposures these are beyond incredible. Nice work sir!

The Spyder does have a small room in the front, so it depends on the size of your gear. Maybe saddlebags would help too.
You could take the gear to the Can-Am dealer and try, and maybe the seller have some ideas :)

Alright I bought a 16-35mm f/2.8 L II a few months ago and I've actually used it only once for one picture .... so I'm thinking of selling it. It seems like a great piece of glass but for some reason I never pick it up. Am I crazy to think 24mm is wide enough on a FF body?

Yes you are :rolleyes:

Wind it out to 16mm and get close to the subject, you get some awesome effects! In fact I don't use my 24-105 any longer as it's not as good.

I used to have the 16-35 before I picked up my 21 and I'll tell you I miss the 16, not all the time or maybe not even that much, but when you do - it burns. I think 24 would be too much for me.

I went to NYC with my 5D2, 24-105 and a 16-35. The 25-105 was rendered useless because I couldn't get wide enough to capture the buildings because it's so compact so on the whole trip it was left in the hotel and I used the 16-35 for the duration. Like all things, I guess it depends upon the circumstances under which you use it and what you like to shoot. At first I was like yourself, but now it's reversed, I hardly ever use the 24-105 and I'm considering selling it when I sell my 5D2. It's difficult to get shallow DoF with the 24-105, but at f/2.8 on the 16-35, you can get really shallow DoF and Stunning effects. Here's a couple of mine that the 24-105 just would not allow:

Ben the several series of shots above are striking as always. COuld you share a little about your processing including how much of a saturation boost you're giving in general? thanks.

I try not to go too overboard with saturation. I have 2 presets I use, one in LR and one in PS. They each bump saturation ~10 points I think. But for a lot of my recent shots I've had to go in a reduce that number after they applied that "much" because these recent sunrises have been crazy in terms of the colors IRL. I try to match things up to reality as best I can.
