Burg Eltz: The Courtyard
Taken on: May 16, 2013
Eltz Castle has over 80 rooms that rise in eight towers up to ten stories high. The well-fortified structure was only attacked once—and never taken. While many west German castles were destroyed in the late seventeenth century, Burg Eltz survived thanks to a Eltz family member in the invading army

Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6 DX Superwide
Taken on: Feb 18, 2013
Sigma 10-20 f/4-5.6 DX Superwide sells for only around $450 USD. It is one of the few very sharp and very contrasty DX zoom and at that price, really is a real bargain. Sigma also makes an f/3.5 version which is not nearly as good. It does not do well on FX at any focal length.

Setting star
Taken on: Nov 20, 2012
This is a shot of the same spot at Ruby Beach in Olympic National Park as the previous one posted a few days ago, except that the sun is framed to shine through the haystack. I have tried to get starburst shots of the rising/setting sun with the EF-S 10-22 a few times, never satisfied. For one thing, there are flares all over. I had to get rid of many here. Secondly, the effect is not as crisp as I would like. I don't know if a hood would have helped, but I would have expected better flare resistance from this lens. I have seen people create fake starbursts with filters, but that's not my cup of tea. This is my best effort so far. I have a few more that I'll work on later.

Mesa Arch
Taken on: Oct 3, 2012
An asymmetric and wide (10mm) perspective of Mesa Arch at sunrise, shot from close to the edge of the cliff to get the valley in view as well. I started with a single exposure RAW, made 4 different exposures from it, then layered them in photoshop.
