Do you have a wide lens??

Me...Tokina 17-35mm

I used to have a EF16 - 35 mm L lens but I sold it because on a 1.6x crop it was not wide enough.  I now have a Sigma 10-20mm which I love

Not actually that impressed by most of those photos (a lot are bad crops/comps or over processing), but there are some good ones in there (red bridge , traffic lights).

I have an 8mm Fish and a 10-20mm Sigma - also a 17-85mm, but barely use it now as i have a 50mm and a 70-200... the 20-50 range is a bit non-starter with me - not really portrait, not really landscape kinda range... and 50-70mm gap is barely a problem...

have to say Rich I'm feeling a real lack of a walkaround lens at the moment, I probably miss a few shots fiddling around changing between the 10-20 and the 50... surely the 17-85 must be on the camera a bit when on the move? I absolutely loved using my dad's 28-300 when travelling in France.. the convenience means you're much less likely to miss a shot but I have to say there are always going to optical compromises in a lens like that (personally I thought the colours were a little flat, it was pretty damn soft wide open and gotta watch out for CA).... got my eye on the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 to fill the gap when I have some dosh!

of those in the link I liked the first 2, also the church interior, and the one with the green boat in the foreground... the rest I don't reckon were anything special.... and speaking of that 'gap', I'd say at the moment I'm shooting about 70% of the time with the 10-20, but yearn for a bit more reach for street shots..

I really did like some of the shots.  My personal take  is apparently out of style in general, since I have problems appreciating photos that simply look like digital paintings...with overworked contrasts and color and detail.   Still, getting past my limits on that, I did like the church interior a lot.  The girl with the phone to her ear was also nice in my view...and the cat could have been on the inside back cover of a 1960's magazine.

My 10 -20 Sigma needs to get out more, she spends too much time at the pC, I dare not take her flying because she is far to keen looking at bits of the aircraft when i point her outside. But she wants to go to town next time i am out shopping and she has promised to try not to make all the buildings look like they are falling on top of me.

hehe - funny... yep its all about the angles, if you can shoot with the field of view parallel with the ground I think it does a pretty good job, as soon as you start tilting though you're looking at a painful half hour in photoshop warping and distorting everything back into shape! ... have to say though, it doesn't irritate me enough to consider shelling out for a tilt/shift lens, and I always find something slightly odd about trying to stitch vertical panos of buildings.. just seems like too much bother for most subjects imo... so um.. hurray for wide angles..!
