canonloader: I love the sculpture who is the artist? great shot of it really shows the texture and shape well. Wide angle lens made the image more dynamic
7D + Tokina 12-24 at 15mm. that Tokina Lens of yours seems pretty sharp.

Don't have the body or the lens anymore but this one with a 20D + 10-22 @ 10mm is kind of fun:

Widest I can do now is 17mm on a 5D Classic like with this underside view of an A380 Tail:

My brother does a lot of walking in the woods to find stuff like this. When he finds a good one, he brings it home, dries it out, then just strips off the bark and polishes it up. He doesn't do any other work to it other than sawing off a flat end so it will stand level. This is basically as is. He finds some amazing stuff out there, as he gets off the trails a lot. :)

I bought the Tokina after a friend let me borrow it. I had a 1D then and a 40D and it works on both bodies, as it's an EF mount, not an EF-s. It is very sharp and does colors really well. It's one of the few lenses I have kept, while others have come and gone. Good thing too, cause I have a MkIII on the truck now. :)

Amazing Shots Guys:
Knawx: I bet you had to be almost under the net to get that shot. Ware you the official shooter covering the game?
Jay: Fantastic - great shots great color, I though it was a whale tail for a sec :)
John: I love that you focused on "love" in "Sheet Music"
elysium: That car is ready to launch into space- great
ClearView: what a beautiful forest makes me want to be there.

[elysium]

Hah, I didnt think of that. Well this one is staying on the ground.

@LearnMyShot

Yeah I was on the baseline for this game, it was a great experience for me since i'm so new to the photography world.

[LearnMyShot]

@elysium very cool, It looks like the wheel is spinning - was the car moving?
@airfrogusmc , city kayak, nice contrast of red and blue

Yup, I had a pole mount system. Used the Canon 5D with a Sigma 12-24.

This was actually driven.

These were pushed from behind with the parking brake off.

Then just to clone out the suction mounts. Only real reason for wide angle in my case. :)

30D with Canon 10-22mm at 10mm ISO200 f/6.3 1/320th

[LearnMyShot]

@elysium: these are great: the red one is my favorite of the series. The composition is well balances. The sky looks good. great dynamic. Silver one looks great too (would make a good billboard ad) Did you get those published? I am sure car mags would love those.

@AB8ND I love the expression on guy's face - nice shot but it would be stronger if the depth of field was more shallow. or you could have added motion blur to the background by panning the camera - following your subject by moving the camera at his speed and shooting at lower shutter speed about 60 of a sec

The silver Corsa was a gift to a friend before he sold the car. Funny enough, the red BMW made it into the POTN book. :)

I sold my Tammy 10-24 so help buy the 17-40....Wish I wouldn't have done that, I miss this...

Notice that you can see me in the 2nd :)

[LearnMyShot]

@salleen love the Boat. Very Powerful.
@philodelphi - Great truck Image! just a minor detail: I wish the driver wasn't cropped in half

[philodelphi]

I wish the driver wasn't cropped in half

He's not cropped; he's behind the door!

[LearnMyShot]

He's not cropped; he's behind the door!
:) I meant to say that I wish I could see a little bit more of him. It's A strong beautiful image. The truck is so powerful and monumental the sky is sublime and complements the red beauty of the truck.... but the guy is just too real with his eyes closed or looking down at paperwork... I felt that he wasn't adding to the image...but he is not taking anything away - it's a great image!!!

Here's a sample using my Sigma 10-20:

Its the f4-5.6 version. I like it alot.

[ChasWG]

Wowzers! Nice stuff folks. I'd love to add my own wide angle shots, but I'm working today (boring interviews and no computer available) and using my Blackberry to view POTN today.

[ChasWG]

Well it's much later and I finally get to see all these great wide angle shots on something better than my Blackberry. Again, really nice stuff!
I'll add some of my own to the mix.

I love this lens for all the different things it can do. While not the fastest lens out there (f3.5-4.5), it is pretty sharp and reproduces colors very well.

Here's one more because it's just too much fun with the UWA lens.

Tried to capture how HUGE the Eiffel tower really is... rarely see in photos something that shows it's "presence"

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3198/2757822993_ebc6b09efb_b.jpg

don't know if I've succeeded though.

used a Sigma 12-24 on 400D

Amazing stuff guys:
I love the Denver building: great composition Chas.
Eiffel tower looks pretty big to me :) - nice shot
