More wide-angle fun...

Well, I guess I've got to add my sunset shot.

Using a rediculously tight aperture and 100 ISO for the slowest possible handheld shutter speed.
Shot this last night.

Chad, I love that shot. Wanna send me the original so I can use it as a wallpaper?

You don't want the original, it's got green orbs all over the place from shooting into the sun.
What size is your desktop?

How about this one?

How about this one? An approaching thunderstorm off in the distance...

I picked up Nikon 12-24 last month and can't wait for the opportunity to shot with it.

You'll love it. Here's few things that may help:

-Keep it pointed level with the horizon if you don't want everything stretched out of perspective. Sometimes it looks cool with the stretching. Pointing upward around tall trees and buildings offers a cool, spacious effect.
-Keep people's faces and bodies away from the corners of the frame, where the perspective distortion is at its worst.
-Rack in a hair from 12mm for the super-wide stuff, it will behave a bit better.

-Think wide: Frame subjects cleverly to make the most of the background, because you'll be including a lot of it with such a wide field of view. The top of the frame in the last photo above is nearly 2 'o' clock high above me. I was standing VERY close to the fallen tree, and pointing the camera UP quite a bit. The tree in that photo is NOTHING without the emotion from the passing storm in the background.

Thanks for the tips!
