So many spectacular shots here. I am enjoying them all.
Today I ordered a Sigma 8-16mm. I want just a few more degrees of field of vision. Really need it for some architecture coming up. I cannot afford to have the 10-20mm as well so I'll be selling it soon. Shold have my 8-16mm tomorrow! Sweet!
For now, here is another from vacation a few weeks ago at:
Camera Pentax K-5
Exposure 0.008 sec (1/125)
Aperture f/4.0
Focal Length 10 mm

Thanks! I tried using Photoshop's puppet warp tool to add in the heart. First time using it. It was actually my son's idea in a sort of way. He suggested I add in smiley face but I wanted something that people would wonder if it was real or not. The heart seemed to fit that idea so I went for it. Literally took 5 minutes to shape the heart with puppet warp and it almost looks really natural! It was a fun project.
I use this lens A LOT. It is always with me.

I don't do anything to deal with lens distortion on this Sigma. Call me silly, I like the distortion and don't mind at all. It is to the point where I see the Sigma 10mm and Pentax Fisheye as pretty normal :lol:
Awesome shots!

I don't want to stray too far from this fantastic thread dedicated to the mighty Sigma 10-20mm, but I use Photomatix Pro. Load my RAWs right into Photomatix and tone map the image that is usually from 5 exposures. I then tweak the tone mapped HDR with ACR and then PS. I have never used Topaz to LucisArt, yet.
Thanks man, but there are MANY MANY great HDR guys out there. I am only one a many and IMHO, there are others that are way better than mine.
So, to keep on lens topic, here is where I work at 10mm, ISO100, f/8.0 in the heat of this past July:
And deep in the bowels of work, also at 10mm @ ISO100, f/8.0: |

Thanks all. I sincerely appreciate the feedback.
I find these places by doing a lot of research and just trying to see things differently. HDR can help make the must mundane things look interesting.
I went out today for more HDR Urbex and decided to take the 10-20mm off and give it a break.
That lasted for about 10 minutes. This lens is just perfect for HDR. The detail of the lens, is simply amazing, even with 9 exposures used to get this one with the longest being 30 seconds.
This one is "Frankenstein's Switch" |

Here is another HDR with this excellent lens @ 10mm, ISO100, and a 0.0 EV of 8.0s. This lens is just perfect for tight spaces:
I just love me some abandoned, decaying and all around URBEX.
"Twin Brenkert Projectors"

Good for some pseudo-macro too. Yeah, I know I got some serious CA still there in this one... This at ISO100 and 14mm: |

I wanted to try something different for this past weekend's walk through Boston. Did not take off the 10-20mm the whole 5 hours or so.
This one at 10mm, 5 hand-held exposures HDR: |

Thanks for the feedback. Nope, no regretting the purchase in the least
Can't wait to see what you shot at that event. Looking very forward to it.
Here is something I haven't tried with the lens yet until last night. Very low light, just that one candle on some "still life"...sort of :p This item re-surfaced in our basement after the recent basement flood a couple weeks ago :eek: Forgot we even had one.
ISO100, 10mm, and it's widest aperture (should have went smaller to get the fore front more in focus but I think this works): |

All mine are done using HDR. Done with 5 different exposures and blended into one to get the full dynamic range and then I added some vibrancy. I like the hyper-real effect of HDR and will not aplologize for it ;) IMO, this is the way the world should look :D
OK, I lied that wasn't my last one for the day, this is:
This one at 18mm, f/11 and ISO100: |
