considering lenses for Canon XTi (novice)

[nwoods]

The 10-22 is terrific fun, but you have to watch the angles and closeness. It's pretty neat to get up SO close, but you are going to get some funky distortion (parallax error?) as a result unless you are really carefull. As an example:

Alvaro, that is a really great composition. Too bad about the time of day. If you could have been there around the edges of the day, what a dramatic photo that would have made!

I think your file name of the images speaks volumes. The tighter shot is labeled as 17mm, wheras the wide shot is 10mm. What a difference a few milimeters makes, eh?

Hey Chris, are you going to be at OK this thurs? I am going to try and get up there... I NEEED to pick up that pair of wheels that have been sitting there since I was in Moab! I'll bring my Camera gear if you want to take a look.

You bet! If I'm not milling around, I'll probably be up in the conference room. Just ask for me, and they'll either send you up or come get me if I don't see ya first.

Thanks for the great advice and samples, everyone. I have actually been ill for all of 2008 so far. Severe sinusitis, I think. Its gross - I just took pills, and then untook them only a short time later. What a waste. Anyway, really excited to mess with the 10-22 in the wild.

NWoods,

I got a text message the day before we got to Page, AZ from a fellow cruiserhead who is a professional photographer. He told me about the place and my lens.
Because we had done Antelope Canyon just before, we were there at around noon. We still had 200 miles to complete that day. I would have liked to stay and take more pictures.
I will post the rest of the trip's pics on my blog soon.

Regards

Alvaro

Hey Erik, scratch that. I don't think I'm going to make it in on 1/10 because I'm still recovering from being ill. Very likely the next Thursday though! See ya soon-ish!

No worries, see you next week!
