WOW really like it, can you share the EXIF ? How much PP on those pictures?
I working on getting the 14-24 to replace my Tokina 12-24.
Thanks,
Rudy

Hi Rondv,
Great captures.
I profess, I am no expert. I like building shots. One thing I think is real cool is if you capture the whole building going wide, then take an opportunity to get in close on a specific architectural detail. Something that is of interest to you or represents something unique about the building (ie. corner stone, maybe a gargoyle somewhere, some eaves work, or stone work, or carved stone) or even a different perspective shooting from a corner up to the roof line, or from real ground level and up. Play around next time and don't be afraid to get your knees dirty.
Like I said, if you go to my website you will see some long wide shots, but the recipe is in the detail(s). I probably have not done what I preach on a lot of occasions, but when I have the opportunity I do try. My Ottawa Ontario pics I tried getting the Canadian Flag and Peace tower from behind the complece. The sun and lighting worked against me, but it was the only time frame I had. Most people just shoot from the front.
Just my opinion, and perhaps is more directed at myself to get better at similar shots.
Regards
DA

Haven't been to Ottawa since my adventure in citizenship in May 1960! Thanks for the images. The detail in the originals is superb.

How did you get the edges to stay straight? Thanks!

Great shots and beautiful subjects. I would love to see a side-by-side comparison with some 24 PC-E shots. dave
I used the grid screen to level on roof lines and tried not to point up or down. Nothing was done in PP for distortion.

Cool! But the problem with that technique is that you cannot utilize full 14mm? Is that so or I am mistaken? Thanks!

These are as good as I've seen from any assignment photographer, Ron. I think you are well on your way in this type of photography.
Experiment with a polarizing filter. They are a little trouble, but they can produce a "wow" in a sky like you have here. Some folks can never get used to them and now there are ample ways to achieve what they do in post, so YMMV.

Thank you for your reply and comment! I've fabricated a filter holder for this lens to use 100x150mm filters and I can adapt a 105 mm polarizing filter. I've not bought the filter because of lots of post that claim the filter doesn't work well with wide angle lens. Anyone with comments on this please?

Nice collection for my taste slightly 2 bright and sky slightly blown out (not as blue as I like) but that just me.
This is my next lens in my collection near to Xmas along with fixing my 70-200 and can I ask how do you find it and how do you clean the front element ?
Love the new Nikon 24-70 afs lens...

Nothing clipped or blown in my program but like you said personal taste.
I clean this lens like all my others. Rocket blower, anti-static brush, lens cleaning solution, and a good micro-fiber cloth.
I like this lens and I think it lives up to all the reviews.
Thanks for the reply and comment!
