Originally posted by maxwell1295 Peter, I'm assuming these were shot with the 10-17FE. If so, it might be the sharpest lens I have. Only the FA50 is as sharp. IQ on that lens is very, very good. Only PF issues at wide apertures keep it from being a perfect lens. At F8, it's a dream...
Yep, that's the lens. EXIF says 11mm but I swear I had it zoomed all the way back.
One thing this lens gives you is no worries about depth of field or camera shake.
Originally posted by maxwell1295 BTW, the 2nd image is my fave, but they're all really good. I'd crop a little off the top and flip it horizontally to lead the eye into the image from left to right.
Yep. There are plenty of pixels to play with. I might just chop out a few interesting sections.

too bad you caught just a tad of the roof in the top right corner, then it would have been complete and total dankness.
(awesome)
What I needed to do was poke my nose out further into the rain, but was afraid of getting even more dank. ;-)
You know it was rather too dark to see through the viewfinder what all was going to end up in the frame and I decided to not worry too much about framing since I had no clue as to what, where, when, or how big was going to happen anyway.
That bolt was a gift from the heavens and I was
almost prepared to capture it perfectly. But hey, it's like fishing - the big one is still out there. Waiting.
