Another one from my first day of shooting with my new Sigma 10-20 F4-5.6 EX DC Wide angle lens. I was experimenting, and do want to know what you think.

I Posted this one to show the true wide angle and what it does.

I would also like to extend birthday wishes to a dear friend of mine Pat (mesmerized) whose birthday is tomorrow Nov. 2nd.

This busy lady is not always on here like some of us, but she is talented, and a good member of Caedes.

Happy Birthday Pat!

I hope you will extend your birthday wishes to a fine lady.

Thank you in advance for your comments, and help to make my images better, especially with the new lens. :)

Wow! this is a fabulous shot - compostion, colors, lighting - excellent clarity. I don't think you need experimenting - you seem to have it mastered.

I am not a professional in photography and look with eyes of an amateur ... I enjoy the beauty and the strong feelings that produces this wonderful landscape in me. Thank you.

Such lovely autumn scene Sandi! Wonderful composed.. always check when you shoot with the 10mm if the trees, houses ect still look straight. You can also try to shoot with 15,16mm if they are a bit in 'false position'. Without any subjects like this and only a flat landscape or mountains from a distance you can easier shoot totally wide. But I enjoy your post a lot with these amazing colours. Your friend.. Mich

It must always be windy there Tigz the way the trees have grown to be so bent and leaning. Looks like a retirement home for the old devils. The shot is crisp and clear and the colors bold. Lighting is right on. Good post.
The second is still my favorite.

Sandi - Great color and clarity. With the wide angle, the trees pitch inward. Mich offers suggestions for you. Thad

Wow, what a wide angle! Gorgeous Sandi! The colors are beautiful but the trees seem a little blurry, the ones on the left. But it sure is a marvelous capture girl!
