So I got a chance today to try out the Tokina 17 mm ATX PRO I bought recently.

The subject itself is a little boring but in fact it is a nature reserve not far from where I live. A big part of the reserve is closed off to give the birds peace from people. These photos was shot from a bird tower which lies smack in the middle of this reserve.

I also tried to do a panorama from there, if it was successfull I will post that in at new thread.

No it was a tower build for bird watching complete with sliding windows. I think it was about 15-20 meters high and 4 by 4 meters in width and length.

Maybe you should have taken your big zoom in that case :lol:

Can't say the shot does anything for me but it does show how wide it goes. Be good to see some other shots in due course.

My excuse is I have an english sense of humor. Very dry, most dont understand it. I feel like an englishman trapped in a yank's body.

Long live benny hill!

Sorry to highjack your thread tommy!
