My first foray into Ultra wide angle (Page 2): Inside with a flash will give you some group photos and candids you never dreamed of before. I'm impressed with your first shots .....

Maybe it is the building that is leaning?
Highly unlikely that all the boats would be rolling in synchronization.

I thought the white building behind the yachts on the right were leaning a little. Maybe I am being silly, the masts are all perpendicular.

I have never used a very wide lens before now, and it was with a little trepidation I bought a Sigma 10-20mm. It is going to take a while to learn how to use it effectively, but I thought I would share the first results.

I have had this lens for 6 years and adore it. I like shooting from a very low viewpoint. The experts say don't use a polariser as the sky can become 'banded'. I use one, but with care. A graduated ND filter is probably better. (talk to SRB Griturn in Luton.) I am pleased with macro shots when combined with a 1 dioptre close up lens on flowers etc.
(SRB can privide this too)
Now go and enjoy!
Regards and hope this helps.

I had heard about the polariser problems, and as the my failings in the three images posted centre on blown highlights, may well try a weak neutral density filter. Thank you for your input.
I will try the close up lens, it sounds interesting, but I think I will be running before I can walk.

You are most welcome and I agree, one step at a time. I promise you will not reget buying this.

I like the second and third photos best. They are very good.

I also have this lens but am still learning how to get the best out of it. With landscapes it works well if you can get something in the foreground, though your landscape works very well. Try taking city buildings with it, it works well for them also.
