Bought a Sigma 10-20 last week but haven't had a chance to use it. I took it to work today and managed to get a few shots. Most of them aren't the sort of shots you usually see the 10-20 used for.
These are all taken at the nursery where I work.
Hope you enjoy them.

Nice work Gary but I have to say I'm jealous that you got a new lens and I didn't. I like getting close up with a wide angle too but I don't have one as wide as that.

Thanks Alan, I find it liberating that I have little technical knowledge so don't know what the f*^# I'm doing. This frees me to take pictures of whatever I want with whatever I want. I walk a thin line between utter foolishness and sheer brilliance.

Hilarious...

I enjoyed this series, especially the second, wheer you have the cropped close-up.

In my view my 10-20 is one of the most creative (and sharpest as zoom) lens I have. Looks like you have enjoyed this lens too a lot!

#3, and 4 look exceptional Gary, so I think that you have an excellent copy

Plus you've mastered it already.

Thanks Stu.
I will never master it, don't want to, the unknown is too much fun.

Interesting use of wide angles there. As for lack of skill, I'd buy a 10-20 tomorrow judging by the quality of your shots.

Hasn't it arrived yet? Damn it, I was a little bit worried because the labels on my package were hanging off. I'll get right on to them.

Great article. That has been may problem with the Pentax 12-24. [getting close enough to the forground part of the shot. I also find this lens is a little touchy on the AF... if you are shooting in certain light conditions.. Still have a lot to learn with this lens. Next week I am off and I will be spending a few days shooting with this lens and my new Pentax 50 1.7.. I may look at the Pentax 35 prime after I get my Sigma 70-200. [hopefully next month] Cheers bud and thanks for sharing these shots. JIMBO

Excellent series. I have to say I like the results you got from the 10-20mm. My Vivitar 17-28mm is just not wide enough. I really need to get something wider.
