Well I finally was able to take my new lens out with me to Rocky Mountain National Park.

A few weeks ago I bought a Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM, which was a bit expensive, but definitely worth it!

Heres some shots from today:









I had good weather for most of the day. I usually go just for the wild life, but today it was about the scenery. You can see a good amount of distortion in the first image. These are un-corrected.

 

very nice, now go snap some car shots lol

 

wow those are very nice

 

Def Impressive. Keep'em coming.

 

No car shots today

Thanks

 

very nice! do you have a color picture of that last shot or just bnw?

 

Yeah, I have the original that's color.



I thought it looked better in B&W

 

hmmm i cant decide...the bnw has more of a dramatic look to it but i love the color the wood has they both rock!

 

I think I like the more dramatic appearance of the B&W one. Either way, I'm just glad I got the kind of sky I was looking for. Clouds make everything in scenery shooting.

 

yah. i wish i didnt have to work cuz we have some awesome weather right now and i cant take pics

 

Doh!

 

oh well i guess haha.

 

i 2nd this.
outstanding pictures! keep them coming!

 

Very nice... I like #3 the most, and #4 looks better in B&W

 

Thanks man. The third is probably my least liked. I think that area had the most potential but because the lens is so wide, you lose a lot of the depth.

 

thanks for the new background for my desktop man!! used the frist one

 

WOW!!!! Perfect

 

Actually I think the lens does better in a portrait orientation vs landscape for shots like this....

 

I agree, It seemed like I lost a lot of composition/depth having the camera horizontal. For the first image, I pitched up a lot to make the sky the main focus. In the 3rd image, shooting it in landscape resulted in a major loss of depth.
