Driving home last evening and I spotted what I thought would turn out to be a nice sunset. Did several U turns and ended up where I believe is one of the best spots to take a sunset with water (on a city which faces east!). Narrabeen Lake (near the camp ground). Taken with my 5D and Canon 17-40.

What Geoff said

Very very nice indeed.

I'd been watching the sky yesterday afternoon with great interest, there was some great cloud affects happening, unfortunately I had to stay a bit later at work so wasn't in the position to take a shot, but I enjoyed it out the window all the same.

The 5D @ 17 mm seems to be great for these kind of shots, it seems plenty wide enough for terrific views like this one.

Very Sexy!
hard top pull off as well, it seems like the sky is at your command

You seem to be blessed by the light. Another great shot.

I am sooooo glad I hung on to the 17-40. I did debate, when I had the 20D, to trade the 17-40 for the EF-s 10-22 but in the back of my mind, I thought that eventually I would go full frame and the latter lens would not work with any current full frame camera. There is a huge debate going on over at DPR regarding the 5D and the 17-40 - mainly from those who don't have this great combination. While I do get some vignetting, especially using a polariser, its easily fixed in PS. And you do get a wonderful effect using this lens on FF. I took a similar shot at the same time with my 24-105 f/4 L IS. What a difference a lens makes!




Cheers and thanks

Very nice. Never get tired of a great sunset

Have to look at a super-wide for my Nikon now

Beautiful sunset Sheila.

they are not easy to catch, I've been chasing a few few in the last week, but they tended to be just fizzers

Yours here with the colours, the clouds, the water, MAGIC

thanks,
