Life at 10mm

So I finally got my Sigma 10-20mm ultra wide angle lens. Of course I had to go and play with it so I took it for a little walk. I took my 18-200 VR along because I didn't think I'd be shooting with the ultra wide for very long, but ... well there are a whole lot of photos coming. All were taken at 10 mm or just about :)

Trying to fit it all in



Well, I can say that I really enjoyed shooting with the new lens (damn good thing given what the polarizer alone cost! ).

:D

As always, please see the slideshow for larger photos

Thanks for looking.

Kiting

Peter called me because he was going Kiting on Jericho beach. Turns out that by the time I'd gotten there he'd left as the wind died down.

But I figured as I was already there, I might as well take a few pictures :)

Jericho beach, Easter Monday

Jenn and I took a little walk today around Jericho. Nice day for it, the afternoon had warmed up quite a bit and it was nice to be out.

Enjoying the sun


A good day to wear black



Note: Harley shirts make you so tough, you don't need a coat

Sometimes we take the backdrop for granted

That's it for Easter 2008.

Easter Sunday ... Sun ...

I found that I had almost no battery, but I had a great time and the light was awesome.

Straight from the 50's



Dinner



#7





The Plant
... and my favorite game, colour or B&W (not really fair, I forgot my circular polarizer).





One more because the light and the sky rocked!



A couple of experimental shots





I'm partial to the first on myself.

If you'd like, enjoy the shots large and as part of a slideshow

Happy Easter :)
