Default Testing out the new Sigma 10-20

Picked up a used copy for about $130 off and wanted to make sure it was a decent copy from B&H. The night ones were almost all 30 sec exposure at f/14-16. I think I got an excellent copy though and be sure to check out the hi-res on my flickr:

My Flickr

Night shots of Portland (sorry my mistake first two were with my new Canon EF-S 55-250 f/4-5.6)






Some test shots of my friends built Suzuki Samurai. Don't know too much about lifted stuff but the suspension is built and it's using a 1.6L turbo diesel (I think). We'll be doing a proper shoot hopefully next week if the weather allows it.




Finally here are some driving around past Camas. The bridge is called "The Bridge of the Gods and it's pretty cool. The other is shot off a view point. I was stupid and didn't research enough and picked up a 77mm ND grad filter for it not knowing it'd cause vignetting so I didn't use that filter but I did use my Tiffen CPL on these. I'll be ordering my Lee holder and 100mm filters within the next month or so.






And one of Multnomah Falls that came out excellent IMHO.



Any C&C is welcome, I know composition might not be ideal but I'm still learning to use this lens a bit. Thanks for looking

Thanks, unfortunately it was the only nice day we've had in about 2 months.. Nothing but rain here now so I'm having to get creative and will be building my DIY lightbox today.

Yup, I made fun of him for putting $20k+ into it but then I look at what I spend on cars/photo gear and I quiet down haha. His brother also has a built silver one with another TD conversion and I'm trying to get a shoot together.

Thanks, post some of yours up! It was hard at first to get used to the SWA and not getting my feet or the bottom of the tripod in the shot. The tripod was a great investment and have helped with my pics a lot since I don't have the steadiest of hands.
