Liberty Square at 11mm

I wanted to take these shots in August. The rain stopped it during the first part of our August trip. When we went back at the end of our trip, the skies were almost blue, but the Libery Bell was in a giant crate!!

Thanks Scott, I'm really starting to enjoy that lens. I find myself looking for shots that can exaggerate the wide angle.

 

if you really want to end up in the doghouse, shoot a wide angle of dina from up close and a downward plane. she'll never speak to you again...

 

OOH YEAH!!
She hates that!!
One of my favorite shots I always take is her on the escalator up to the wedway!
WARNING do not do this to your wife with wide angle!

 

Great shots Craig!

 

These pictures and Scott's very gracious loaning of the lens to me is making it hard to elevate this lens up the wish list. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8 makes it faster than my 18-200VR

 

Thanks everyone!

mpower, I used 2.8 to make sure that the sign was the main focus of the picture. I never thought about trying a higher fstop.
But, I was also only about 20" away from the sign, so the HOP is probably not in focus anyway.
The tokina focuses so close, that's what makes part of it so fun to use, is that you can really force wide angles.

 

I forgot to post the shot I had planned to do in August. This didn't come out exactly as planned! ;D

hahahah!

Reminds me of Disneyland during the time mgmt turned the park around (After Emperor Pressler left).

Or the parking lot, I mean DCA for the years it took to build. And the monorail was one-way only.

 

one more at 11mm.
