Since I've decided to start building my photographic empire, I've decided that I have to start getting some better equipment to go along with it. For the longest time I've felt pretty comfortable that the 18-55mm lens that came with my Canon was enough for wide angle shots. That was until I used it for a shot back in December where I found that 18mm is not wide angle enough. So enter my new Sigma 10-20mm. Not the fastest lens out there, but seems like a pretty sturdy lens. What amazes me is just how wide angle it can get.
Here's an example of my 18-55mm shot at 18mm.
Picture taken within a foot of the camera. Pretty decent coverage close up. Now, let's see how it looks at approximately the same distance and at 10mm on the Sigma lens.
There is a whole lot more there. But I also am noticing that the image, shot at the same ISO setting, has a lot more noise in it. When I get some time this week, I'll take it for a walk after work and see what I get out in the world with natural lighting.
But for now, I have to get back to some website building.
