Valencia Creek, Victoria. K-S2 + DA 12-24mm f4 at 14mm, f10, 0.6 sec, 100 ISO
There was some conspicuous purple fringing at the tree tops to deal with.

Thanks Albert. Maybe I'll try some more of this when I get out a bit.

Thank you. If you look at the line of the horizon and the rocks in the background you will see some green fringing. But it produced a surprising degree of subject separation, given the focal length and the aperture.

I rarely use the DA 12-24 at its widest apertures. The bokeh isn't bad and the effect can be interesting, but there is some CA.

Ha! I think the ripples are from the cable for the punt.
Thank you both.

Thanks Albert. This is from a remote area in southwestern Tasmania.
Here are some from elsewhere in western Tassie - the Pieman River. When still the river reflects like a mirror.

Thank you. I might have used a tripod for the first one - can't remember. The other three, no - it wasn't practical: the second was from the top of the lighthouse, the third was on the punt crossing the river and the fourth standing on the road. From time to time I resolve to use a tripod more often, but things get in the way: for example, on a walk when a tripod would hold up my companion. It is worth doing whenever you can, and not just when you are using very slow shutter speeds, but shake reduction (and wider focal lengths) are more forgiving of handheld shooting. Good technique helps a lot too; see this excellent article: Making the Most of Long Exposure Handhelds - Introduction - In-Depth Articles |

Many thanks Richard. I wasn't aware of Muench - will check out his work - or the term "anchor".
In Australia, every landscape photographer is influenced by the late great Peter Dombrovskis, who helped us see our country in a different way. One of his images was actually instrumental in saving the remarkable Franklin River in Tasmania from a dam project that would have destroyed it. Dombrovskis was a master of composition, including the use of the foreground "anchor".
Many thanks Vincent.

Thanks again Mircea. One of the things I try is to have a foreground that links with the background in some way, so the viewer is drawn into the image. Portrait orientation often seems to work for this.

Thanks very much Dave. It's a pity if the lens has been discontinued - it provides a more affordable and lighter-weight alternative to the DA*11-18 f2.8. A refresh with HD coatings would be welcome. The range is useful too - running to 24mm means fewer lens changes and a viable kit with just a telephoto lens and a prime in the 28-50mm range.

Very kind of you Mircea. One thing about an ultrawide lens is that it makes you concentrate on composition - it makes me look for foreground interest, lines, patterns, balance, etc. It is possible to take really bad shots with a UWA lens if you don't!
12mm f10 (I have a canvas print of this image. It's one of my favourites.)

Thank you. All the ones I have posted here are from the (very photogenic) Gippsland region in eastern Victoria, Australia.
