Very nice shots. You have a smooth and self-assured way with landscapes.

You pass!

Especially the last shot with the island off to the right.

If you think that makes sense, then you must have read someone else's post!

Thank you John.

I have to break the habit of the 14-54 which is to tilt up or down so every thing would fit in the frame.

Very nice captures with the 11-22mm. That is one sharp, good piece of glass and you make good use of it.

Nam,

I can't remember. Is the 11-22 new for your? These are nice shots, and the detail and colors are what I'd expect from the 11-22. To use it to the fullest, you need to get as low as possible, with something right in front of you. One the first shot, with those nice sized rocks, it works best if you can get right down on the ground with one of the rocks about a foot away from you. It is difficult to find just the right shot for that lens. I often go out with just that lens to force myself to look for the right scene to take advantage of the wonderful qualities it has.

Yes Sharon I got this lens less than a week ago.

I just love the blue sky that I get out of it. I don't even think if you really need a circular polarizer on this lens.

This is good to know, I will try it next time I go out.

That's what I did for this outing with my children.
Thank you Sharon for these fantastic tips.

You shouldn't use a CP filter with this lens. It really screws the sky up. You wind up with a lot of deep blue in the middle and whites on the sides in some cases. The only filter I use with the 11-22 is a set of Lee graduated neutral density filters, in some cases. They are useful in pulling out more dramatic skies or allowing shots closer to the sun rather than having to always shoot away from the sun.
