My mates wide angle lens the other day, absolutely love using it so am hopefully going to go and get one of my own!

Shots are taken with a Canon 40D with sigma 10-20

Am hoping to go and get the Canon 10-22 and also a 17-55 F2.8 IS soon :-D

1)
Very, very good.Excellent compositions and feeling. I'm just unsure of the exposure. But Exposure would be tough on this one.

2) Pretty bad. I don't understand what the purpose of the photo was. Poor composure, doesn't exemplify the need for UWA lenses.

3) Good, but very popular photo. Its not quite aligned left-right and I think there is too much empty space top and bottom.
4) Hence, 4 I think is a better. I normally hate photos taken at 45* just to be different, like all the skate photos etc, and normally it only distracts form the origional. But in this case I think the composition was improved.
 
Agree with DP on 2, I just don't get it :p As nice as all the red stuff is, try and find a more interesting angle.

4 doesnt work for me, but technically its sound.
3 i like, and I enjoy the foreground grass, I think the empty space at the top balances this grass.
 
thanks for the feedback, definitely agree with the first ferris wheel shot, too much space at the top and bottom maybe it distracts too much from the wheel?

The house, the colours of the leaves looked nice but i think i should have got closer to maybe pull off a wide angle lens shot? i agree this probably could have been taken with a normal lens!

thanks for feedback, do you think if i cropped the first ferris wheel shot it would improve?

BTW there is little to no point in spending the extra £200 or so on the canon 10-22, the sigma 10-20 is so damn close to the quality of it, and is imo better built! Save the cash! Also, it will work on none 1.6x bodies if you ever upgrdae (from 12mm on the 1Dmk3 for example :))

Thats interesting that. I'm glad to have read that as have been considering the Sigma. I've read on Canon forums the complete opposite but then...you would.

more than happy to get any advice on improving etc

These look overexposed in areas, keep an eye on your histogram after shooting

Try your 40D's Highlight Tone Priority mode for a little boost to the camera's highlight dynamic range, with it you lose ISO-100 (starts at ISO-2oo) and also introduce a little more shadow noise but it works well in practice
