Thanks so much for the kind words Carl! Your post caps off nicely what has been a pretty enjoyable day on my end over here (just creeping up past 7pm here though... ).
I love that dramatic perspective an ultra-wide lens provides. Of course many don't care for the barrel aberration seen on the tower at the right, but I've found that at times the aberration can be the photographer's friend in adding drama to the scene. Though just as a disclaimer, I have had a few wide angles where the aberration detracted more than it added.
RE: desktop images ... hell, that would be great, actually. Here and there I'll sell a print or two, but if I was more of a businessman I'd be more ambitious about the marketing end of my photography addiction.
Random tidbit relating to England - as you know I love to do cityscape/urban photos. I've had a nightmare at least twice that I was running around London lost with my camera, desperately trying to find the fantastic urbanism and architecture of the City, but in the dreams I could not find it, even though I know it has to be somewhere.
Merry Christmas to you as well, Carl!

Hey, what about me, I said you picture was nice too! No merry Christmas to me?
lol
And Merry Christmas to you!
...sorry, ya posted while I was typing.
Damn this year went fast, it feels like it should be late summer still. I guess that happens because the year didn't suck very much for me.

Thank you.
I'll have to go to this location again and try to get a better shot.
I like the extreme focus of the player's gaze intent on shooting the puck. All around is a blur of movement and action, which adds to the intensity of his concentration. IMO
Hockey has to be one of the hardest sports to capture, very fast and almost always lousy arena lighting. That coupled with shooting through either dirty glass or net makes for some real challenges. You can crank up the ISO, but then you get a lot of noise, and the detail of faces are obscured even further.
Lots of great shots posted in this thread! To everyone here keep up the great work!

My first "real" picture I've ever taken. Received my Rebel XT today and was dying to try HDR. I know I have a long way to go, but I'm proud of my first shot.
Got my D40 today and have been inspired by urban shots seen on here, so thought i'd give it a go tonight.
