Digital SLR: Wide-Angle Fun in Utah!

[GTaudiophile]

So I went to Utah over the long weekend to visit my GF. The two of us drove down to a lovely B&B in Torrey, UT and spent a day hiking the red rocks.

I recently bought a Canon EF-S 10-22mm F3.5-4.5 USM lens to go along with my EOS-20D DSLR. Taking photos has become even more fun with this ultra wide-angle lens. I hope you enjoy some of my recent photos:

Depends...check out the Germany series...if you tilt the camera/lens too high, you do get distortion...I kind of like it though.

I don't suppose you happen to have a ~1680x1050 version of that one floating around on your server, do you?

 

[dartworth]

Is the EF-S lens a true 10-22mm on a XT or 16-35mm?

Did the big bird try to eat you in this pic.

Right-Click, Save As...

It's EF-S, so it's designed for APS-C sensors like those found on the 300D/350D/20D. So the 1.6x multiplier applies.

Bought mine at Amazon for $750. B&H sells it for like $730 now. You can sometimes get a good "DELL deal" on it, but they delay and delay before they finally ship.

i'm in the market for a sigma 10-22 or a tokina 12-24 for my nikon d70. i'm loving the wide angled shots

this was taken at 18mm from my kit lens (18-70). it was taken at the hickory run state park's boulder field at the middle of the pocono mountains in pennsylvania this past weekend. those tiny figures in the distance are people.

Thanks for the info GT.

How did you like that B&B? We are looking for something for a nice 3-4 day weekend soon...

I like the Utah pics, but the building distortion isn't for me. Think I'll see what PS can do out of curiousity.

 

[Heifetz]

great pics! How much did you post process these?

B&B is very nice. Very homey. Great breakfast. Can't comment on nightly rate as the GF paid!

But the perspective is still of a 10mm lens, which is dramatic.

Have you tried some 360° panoramas? With this lens, it wouldn't that many shots.

Those in the original link in my OP: some cropping and size reduction.

The 1280x1050 pic: cropping, size reduction, red saturation reduction, slight adjustment of brightness and contrast, and some sharpening. In PhotoShop.
