Andy,

This came out really well :clap The light looks like it was pretty flat, yet there's lots of contrast in the shot.

If this, and the others you sent me a link to, are what the 10-22mm are giving you, I think it looks like a winner. As I mentioned to you, if it shows a little CA in the high contrast edges, so what. We are graduates of the Sony school of purple fringing :lol After what we've been through, living with and removing small amounts of CA are mere childsplay.....lol As I also mentioned, with those darn high contrast edges, lots of lenses will display some level of CA. If this gull didn't have it, it's probably hard to come by. If it did have some and you've removed it, then it's easily fixable and still no biggie :-)


Nice winged rat shot :lol3

I told my husband, Ed, that we need to get some day old and long French or Italian breads, poke a stick through the middle, wire the bread to the stick (a nice long one of course) so the birds would have to peck at the bread and not take the entire loaf at one swoop, and he could hold it up at an angle while I took photos!

I just don't understand why he wasn't so thrilled at this idea do you?

Love the wide angle, the perspective and all! :-)

Also, I don't know why, but when I saw the pic, I just *knew* you weren't using the big 1Ds for it! :-)

Thanks so much for sharing!
Take care!
