Learning the new wide angle lens in New York

[ScottyP]

Took a last minute 4-day in New York.  First time using the lens other than stopping by the zoo trip on the way back from the camera store with the new lens, where I realized some online reading was needed to figure out this lens.

After a LOT of reading and studying, I went from fearing I'd bought the wrong lens to being really excited about the whole new field of view and feel I can learn how to get using this lens.

Scotty it has been my experience that most folks get truly excited about big teles.  Super teles, the bigger the better!  They seldom give the WA and UWA lenses a thought..............until they get one.  Just as super teles draw an attention to detail and composition, so does the UWA.  Most shooters get that "Oh boy" feeling after they get such a lens.  It seems like you got it!

After you get used to and comfortable with you new prize, think of getting the EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM Lens.  You will have another, "Oh WOW!" moment. Guaranteed.

Thanks, Ernie.  You would be pleased to know that this is an HDR shot, a product of post processing.

[EDIT] It is a shot of my favorite subject, "stone stuff."
