14-24 & tall buildings

[LSSE]

worried about perspective distortion? don't be. Use it to your advantage.

I also wanted to check out how much the barrel and pincushion distortion affects real life images and not some chart.

I didn't apply any barrel or pincushion correction. Yet unless you use a ruler it is amazing how little of that type of distortion there is even at the widest end. I did crop some of these to get rid of distracting elements.

[Brodman]

Love #3 and #4.

Nice pics.

 

[werp]

Did you test it at every focal length? Just wondering.

 

[Dieman]

Wow, they're great shots, how'd you get the clouds to move like that? I saw them, they did move

 

[lr0868]

[Palouse]

All great shots! The guy in #1 looks weird--or is he supper svelte?

ha ha. don't know for sure if he was that long. I was actually trying to make my way to the shade since it was 90 and I was roasting that I failed to noticed him.

holy crap that thing has a wide field of view.

yes it does!

Love the 4th shot! Note to self...use mine more LOL :biggrin:

go for it!

Yes. But I set out to caputure huge so it was mostly at 14 all the time.

:smile: on the subject of clouds I'm amazed at the range of a RAW file from the D700. The sky was white on all of these when I imported it and somehow there was still data there to pull plenty of blue. raw ftw.

great shots!!!

thnks.

wow, I like the last one.

I just hate the turists walking around...oh wait I was one :smile:

Whoa... that sure is a sweet lens!

 

[bellasdad]

Wow! Great perspectives!

 

[StinkyD]

Really fun. Now I realize that not only do I "need" this lens but a bigger monitor too!

Hi LSSE.

Really great shots. The 14-24 i doing a fantastic job as well. You can't expect any lens to have no distortion when shooting up a high building.

You made the best out of it. Thanks for sharing ...

Wow, those are cool pics. That lens looks like a lot of fun - especially mounted on a D700.
