    Default  UWA shots  
      
      

    People stopped posting in my landscapes critique, so I'm just going to share some random stuff from today for fun:







    Two of them seem a bit crooked, but I"m not sure how much to straighten. Whaddya think?

    P.S. I KNOW I need ND grad filters, already!

    You gotta love the perspective that an UWA gives you. Is that a bicycle wheel windmill?

    On the first one I would have liked the composition to have more to the right, and have the edge of the car at the left at the edge of the frame. I'm guessing you focused using the left AF point but didn't recompose (or at least not enough). The second 2 are a bit too dark, but have some good composition.

    Oh yeah, and try not to always use it at it's widest setting...

    I thought this was the sharing section, not the critique. :P

    What??? It goes past 10mm??? Yes, I will zoom with it eventually, but I was having too much fun. I agree about the car--I have already cropped it to get it as far over as possible. That was literally my 3rd shot with the lens, and I wasn't paying enough attention to comp. If you look, the shadow of my head is in the lower right of the frame, too.

    And yes, I want some ND grad filters to help me take photos towards the sun without them being dark/blowing out the highlights.

    And thanks for the notes, even though this is the sharing section. I do appreciate it.

    I thought that was in reference to how much to straighten them :P
