Bad weather and my new 10-20mm Sigma lens

[shinwood]

Went out the other morning to grab some nice sunrise shots....didn't happen.

But with my trust 10-20mm Sigma lense and photoshop I managed a couple of decent shots.



I know.....it's a little bendy, but I like it.





Critiques welcome and admired !

especially like the colours in the second one.

Both suffer from blown hightlights.
perhaps you could clone some cloud over the hot sky in #2 for a winner

well the early rise was worth it.

ditto the blown highlights, but i dont feels its a big thing given the composition.
My old photo teacher used to drum into us, bracket bracket bracket, you can fix things in the darkroom only if you have detail.

I really like the extra perspective of the fist image. The bottom vignetting seems to emphasize the shape of the pool (of water.) The perspective exagerates it even more. B&W just adds some nice contrast as well. In a nutshell, i really like it.

I agree with the other Steve #1 is a stunner. The composition and vignetting around the bottom draw the eye away from the blown bits

Well done

I love the perspective and angles of number 1 - well done.
I'm very jealous - I'm yet to use my new 10-20 in anger, as my d70 went into Maxwell's yesterday to repair the flashing green light syndrome. I'm looking forward to creating images like this when I get it back.

Very nice Sonny... I like #1 the best... Perspective, composition, mood - Love it...

[shinwood]

I need to work on the blown bits agreed. Too many of my pics have over exposed skies and it sh%#s me. Will get some braketing happening....now where's my D70 manual....

Thanks all !!
Sonny
