It was a very photogenic afternoon at Walsh Bay last friday.
Taken with the kit lens and at the risk of sounding repetitive is a fantastic lens!

Wendell,

Love the no. 3 but all are very nice captures.
Alex

100% agree with your comments on the kit lens! Those shots are beautiful too, love the framing and the light... The third one is magnificent and the last one looks even wider than the 18mm end would allow!

Link.

That cloud is awesome. I love the way you have made it appear larger by the perspective of the buildings and the SHB. Great work.

Excellent shot ... ... especially make ordinary things look special ..I love them.

Beautiful Wendell

I really like the last one!
Gerard

nice pictures

WOW! These are just fantastic Wendell. The lighting is just gorgeous, and the cloud in the last one is simply stunning! I'm a huge fan of the kit lens too, and your brilliant photographic skills!

Nice shots Wendel.
Liking your work buddy, visited your site. Kinda like a hi-res design.

I love the kit lens too, takes some fantatsic pics.

Nice one

Not to start an US V's Them, but I thionk the Kit lens is one of things that made the D70 stand out voer the Canon 300D.

As your pics show its a great lens.

Stunning examples.

Love em.

MATT

Thanks Everyone, it's a pleasure sharing, I hope my work helps people in a way.

Killkoalla, the cloud shot was taken at 18mm, which produces a dramatic perspective

Stormygirl, I will soon be posting a composition tutorial, there are some simple guidlines like aligning lines to a corner of the frame to make an image look more composed, and many other tips on lighting and tonal balance. In the meantime if you strudy my images you can learn a few things.

Great weather always helps though one should always chase good light.
Rain, water and reflections also adds a dynamic dimension to a scene.

one trick i like is shooting at 400th of a second in bright light f8 ISO100 white balance 5600K and over produces a high contrast moody image

Wendell

These shots blow me away. They are by far the best group of shots I've seen you post. Makes me lust for a D2X (and some of your composition skills )

These shots look excellent, number three does it for me, nice perspective..

I have lens lust and now i'm seriously getting body lust... checking by bank account now and i'm only 1/2 way there to a D2X.

Absolutely fantastic shots Wendell!! The 3rd shot looks like molten copper or is that brass. I always get the too mixed up! The last shot looks like something out of 'War of the Worlds'! I can't wait for your composition toots!
Cheers, Jase.

Beautiful shots mate! Very surreal tones and colours. Me likes!!

Wendell,
It's been said as above, but I have to say these shots really stand out as some of your best work...and your eye for detail/composition is great! Keep up the excellent work, and if the D2X ever gets too heavy for you, I will gladly look after it for you .

Wendell,

Great work, especially your use of the 18mm in the last of these images.

Those are some nice shots, Wendell. I like the 2nd one the best.

Awesome shots. I particularly like the soft tones and the compositions. Very well done.

Hi Wendell,
Love the shots. Great use of the wide end.

Can I buy my lens back? It might improve my shots, now that I look at yours.

Wendell,

Just stumbled over these.........what more can I say, it's already been said!

Simply stunning. Great work!

It's post like these that inspire me to get off my ass and shoot!

Marcus

Wendell,

excellent!


And that's an interesting idea about the moody settings.


I especially liked the droplets on the bollard, (or winch top?)

I havedn't used the Canon kit lens much, well hardly at all, but thought I'd try to find a similar subject to give people a comparison - similar detail and skyscape.

I suspect it'll confirm the beliefs of our friends with Nikons.
