New toy. I just love the crazy distorted perspectives you can coax out of this lens.

We build our ferris wheels to go faster here...

This one has been straightened out just a little:
Many thanks to the dude on the pushbike for the light trail....

As has this one: A fairly stock kind of picture, but it does look nicer at a higher resolution.

The first one is straight off the camera. I sent the others through Neat Image to reduce noise.

The last two had a small amount of distortion correction applied to them, and then the resulting crop. I could have left them alone, but the Arts Centre spire and the city buildings had just enough lean on them to make it noticeable.


Piro, you and I are on the same page. The second one just needs a bunch of monkeys dancing around, ala 2001 A Space Odyssey! Or is it a stargate into some other parallel universe....
OK, where did I put my pills?

Good shots Paul, speccialy this #3! I like the mirror effect in the water. :up:
Small complain ... for me #2 is quite overexposed, but I know that the lighting conditions in this place was very hard to make balanced exposure. :)

A great set of images, all four of them.

I like night shots because they require very little PP for some reason.

Great shots, I love them all. The 10-20 is a really good lens and you have shown its potential very well.

#2 is special!
