[Brian Moore]

The ant-ARTIC?

Canon 6D and Tokina 11-16 f2.8.

A really impressive building, Brian, and I like the composition and leading lines in both shots

Thanks, Pete. Much appreciated.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

It's like a big wave. I quite like it. Thanks, Brian.

Impressive Brian. The lens you used. Have you done any lens correction? 11-16 quite a useful range from time to time on full frame.

Thanks, Julian. Not quite sure how to do that lens correction thing for this lens. Actually the lens I used is intended for cropped frame cameras. (Bought it some time ago to use on my 7D.) However, it is somewhat usable on a full at 16mm. It produces vignetting in the corners but tightly enough that I can crop it away without losing too much. With night time shots, such as this one, I think you can just barely see the vignetting.

Interesting Brian. I did then view he prices and specs of the lens, noticing it was a crop DX only version. Knowing from experience that EF'S canon lenses do not fit their full frame cameras, got wondering if you had a full frame version from somewhere. Obviously not. Anyway the distortion control then appears to me to be very good considering how wide it is.

You left out an i in ant, and your image would have escalated in my opinion, right over the top. But alas I have to admit it is a fine image my friend.

A photographer friend of mine recommended I crop the image and get rid of stuff on the left and foreground. I did so. What do you think, Julian? Stronger image?

Depends who recommended it Brian
Between me and you yes it is stronger

 

[Pete Askew]

I'd stay with the original myself. I miss those wonderful lines leading to the pedestrians and the sense of scale that gives.

Thanks, Pete. I miss the leading lines also. Although at the same time I think the cropped version is a stronger image. I think I may do another crop which reveals more foreground and left side space to see if I can find a good balance between the two versions.
