First official shot with the 10-22... Love it! Disregard the poor angles, etc. I was also trying to figure out my new tripod.

 

It's so sweet to get a new lens.


my wife would love your kitchen

 

Daaaayyuuuuum.

Now that's wide!

BTW, nice kitchen.

 

If you want to avoid the sloped line effect, try to hold the camera level to the ground.
It helps a lot, especially if people are on the sides.

The 10-22 is a ton of fun, I love the ultra wide effect.

Here's one I took recently:

sweet kitchen! i love islands in the kitchen. The fridge seems like its stuck out really far though

 

Nice kitchen...

 

that kitchen is straight out of Lowes...

...did you mention something about a lens...?

 

haha! Good point, I realized that...(after the shot). hence the disclaimer.

 

we have been renovating the house for the past 2 years, that's the finished kitchen... I'll have to share pics of the rest of the house once the artwork and minor things are done. This wide angle also makes it easier to post rooms and what not... I really wanted new Cabinets, but could not justify dumping those. The quality of the oak is amazing... so we just replaced the hardware.

 

The 10-22 is a great lens. Good contrast and color and a lot of fun to use. Wide angle FTW:

13mm


Congrats on the purchase!

 

Congrats synth!

I hope to pick this lens up as my next as well.

 

Congrats!

I use the 10-22 almost exclusively for my real estate photography. I bought it for doing interiors, but it is very effective for shooting exteriors as well if you use it properly.





of course you can have fun with it too.

 

^ +1 I was just thinking this is a perfect lens for home shots!

 

your kitchen is awesome

 

What Synth isn't telling us is that his kitchen is really 30' tall and he actually took this picture with a 50mm.

 

The OP pic looks like CGI! I love it

 

And unless I missed something, you still have a D300, correct??

So technically, you aren't even utilizing the full potential of the lens, which is saying something because it's still very wide and awesome looking shots!

 

Great... Now I want a 10-22mm AND a new kitchen... You guys are killing me.

 

The 10-22 is a canon lens, and it's EF-S, meaning you can't really put it on a Full frame camera. (Not without some hacking, and putting your mirror in peril)

I passed up the 10-22 for the 17-55... kinda wishing I went wide instead Alas, there's always one more lens out there that you want but don't have... isn't that the truth?

 

The 17-55 and the 10-22 are a perfect complement to each other, so having both makes sense. Don't regret buying the 17-55, it's a great lens.

 

I just got my 10-22 today. I love the wide angle.

 

i love wides....I went w/ a tokina 12-24 though, so not quite as wide, but still a lot of fun.



Sold it, now i'm debating if I want ridiculously wide w/ a sigma 12-24, or just 17-40 (full frame, leaning towards the L) . But I probably shouldn't spend any more money until at least after christmas anyways.

 

rest of the kitchen pics posted here:

May bad. I was thinking of the Nikkor 12-24.
But I swore syth had a D300.

Am I thinking of CCC maybe???


EDIT: Damn it. No. I was thinking of the 14-24mm.

 

really? lately ive been thinking of selling my 17-55 and picking up a 24-70 and a 10-22

 

 

Synth, your wife has great taste!

 

Nice shot!

 

thanks, pic details: no flash with tripod. I had to adjust the angle to straighten out the pick with photoshop.

 

I dunno about you, but I can't seem to remember not to include straight lines near the edges of the frame with the 10-22. Every time I do, I get the tilting lines!... You don't seem to have this issue. I suck.

 

^ Well, it could have been better to be honest. But my method comprises of selecting the entire image and "straightening" it outby tilting/rotating the image. Then further crop.

 

I need to plan enough room in my wide angle shots to crop. Good call.

 

I rented the 10-22 for my trip to California last year and I didn't find myself using it very often and I wasn't really happy with how the shots I took came out. It was the first time using the lens and I'm sure it was just me not using the lens properly in terms of what I was shooting and how I was framing the shots. I likely didn't give myself enough time with it as I also rented the 70-200 F/2.8L for the trip and fell in love with it.

Here's 2 shots with the 10-22



I did like how this one turned out but it is at 22mm:

 

it's taking some getting used to for me, but I REALLY like it.

It was the only lens I took to Barrett Jackson for the cars, knowing there was never enough room to really get far enough back with all the people.

 

^ Yep, I mostly got it for car related shoots.
