What’s Your Preference?

I do love the perspective you can get with an ultrawide...

Taken with my 10-20mm with the camera nearly at ground level (not on the ground since it was wet) stuck in the middle of some tulips in the Botanic Gardens.

Yet another good reason for me to want a DSLR. Awesome shot Nicole.

Fantastic capture Nicole! I really want to get the new Sigma 10mm f/2.8 mm for my Canon, so I can take some of these shots. I like your perspective. Well done!
Thanks for sharing this

Thanks Jim. There is definitely something to be said for some of these fun lenses.

Thanks Michael. 10mm is often my fav length on this lens for the exaggerated proportions that you get. It's just far too much fun sometimes

lol

Yep, it really is just that scientific. Point and pray (also pray that you don't fall in the mud at the same time since that probably would've gotten me yelled at by the garden staff if I'd crushed a person sized part of the garden lol). But yes, a combination of checking the exposure beforehand and then checking to make sure it worked after worked as well.

I took several of these shots trying to get the right one, but for some reason I kept coming back to this one because of the sunny flare. Just seemed to scream nice weather.
