I have to say that the first one (large sky and red farm) by Henry W impresses me. The sky just seems so powerful. Did you use manipulation on it to bring out the blueness or is it good old work with polarisers and such?
I have ordered a 10-22 now, going from 28mm to 10 as wides is going to be a bit of a shock I think.

So, this is how you tempt someone with a new lens. Just ask all users to post their pictures with that particular lens, and after about 10 pages of stunning pictures, they will go for it! Forget about resolution charts, boring bricks pictures, boring book shelfs picture etc.
Yeah, it does seem like there are more Canon 10-22 shots here than from the Tokina 12-24.
But these wide shots are so beautiful in their own way. It has it's uses, and, used correctly and well, can produce spectacular images, as is so amply displayed in this thread.
From a hike to Mount LeConte (Smoky Mountain National Park) this weekend. This is a small waterfall just below Rainbow Falls on the Rainbow Falls trail. I love this lens (the Canon 10-22)!
I'd like to say it's the specific lens that I love, because it's the one I chose, but honestly it's all about the 10mm perspective.
I've seen many great shots at 12mm on a 1.6x crop camera, but overall, I think I'd miss the extra 2mm. In fact, I wish I could go wider at times.
Here's an example that doesn't scream "ultra-wide," but nevertheless could not have been realized any other way.
Thanks for the compliments - so many awesome pictures in this thread including the last one - VERY nice composition Steven! Almost looks like a watercolor painting.
What amazing shots. I would like to contribute my first Tokina 12-24 star trails
stack. 25 files at 5 and 1/2 minutes each. Shot at 12mm, f4, ISO 400.
The sharpening when uploaded gets me a little crazy. Either the house looks
sharp at the expense of the trails, or vice versa, depending on how I do it.
I used the WP pro at the high sharpening level to resize this.

Henry, the color of your photos jumped out of my monitor especially the tree trunk one.
Post-processing? please share details.
Hi Ken,
I have archived the original of the tree but the PSD file shows only some levels adjustments to dull/darken the surrounding land. It was an attempt to focus the eye towards the tree itself.
Thanks for looking.
Henry
Very cool!
