Hi,

The Federation Pavilion seemed like a good place to test out my new Sigma 10-20mm and tripod. I have liked this building ever since I first saw it.

I would love some feedback on how to improve these - I can easily go back at a better time of the day (and make sure there are no bags of dog poo in frame :shock: )

These are straight out of the camera.

Especially interested in composition feedback for next time.

I really like the last one, and it depends on if you enjoy the distortion you get with the 10-20 as to if you want to fiddle with distort and perspective in PS and make the verticals a little more vertical (if you know what I mean).

You mean more along these lines?

I took a lot with the straight lines but the distortion really appealed to me. Thanks for the feedback.

I have the 10-20 and I like the distortion too, but it's horses for courses.

Nice images, I like the #3 :)

I do have the 10-20 too, and its one of the lens that give you such breathtaking angle without breaking your bank. :D
