Canon 7D with 17-55 at 20mm; 1/2 @ f2.8; 800 ISO; Tripod
These were some archways at a housing complex overlooking the town of Mainz, Germany.
I have been meaning to stop and shoot this house for the past couple of years, but kept putting it off for one reason or another. Well, Thursday evening I was driving home during sunset, and just had to stop. I am still learning the he capabilities of this lens. Anyway, here the best of the lot.

I'm really digging your snazzy plastic bullet shots... damn iPhone!So Stu finally got around to bringing a teeny bit of Magic Bullet over to the iPhone in the form of Plastic Bullet, a $1.99 app that takes your boring images and makes them snazzy.
I don't know what they are, but I want to eat one... or three. Is it chili jam, or strawberry? (based on the slices of strawberry accompanying the pastry)
Again, a masterful seascape. I don't know how you manage to capture the light, clouds, and motion of the water in as many different ways as you do. It shows a great deal of patience, and a ton of artistic skill. This is a very lovely, painterly photography, worth of being on a wall--big!

Beautiful light in this, and it's nice and sharp at 1/50 sec. This shot makes me think about all the living that went on in this house over the decades, and if I was there I'd probably be listening for the echos of those long-gone voices. Nicely framed and composed. What 12-24 were you using? Nikkor or Tokina?

That makes two of us... I want one so bad right now. But, keep your old one, too. Someday it will be a collectors item, I'm sure.And just for the record, I'm using the original 8GB iPhone, with the UBER crappy camera. Can't wait for this next one to hit. UPGRADE TIME!
It's sad when that happens to an old place with many stories it could tell. I'm glad you're enjoying the Tokina. Nothing's perfect, but I've been very happy with mine. As long as you watch the flare tendencies (something not unique to this particular wide-angle zoom anyway) you can get some really stunning images out of it. I really do like the way it renders colors--matches well with Nikon body.Thanks!, The house was one of the first built in the village in the 1890's, and still occupied when I first came to town in the early 80's. Sadly, the owner could never get the funds together to make repairs, so it just keeps falling in on its self.
As for the lens, why it is the Tokina 12-24mm f/4.0 ATX Pro DX Zoom... I was admiring your harbor shots, and treated myself to this lens after Tax time. I have been fortunate enough to be out late this last week at sundown with camera in hand. It sure does a nice job with that magic hour light. I also believe it will still work in FF when I make my dream move to the D700. Must get kids out of college and supporting themselves
This is a classic! Very sharp for Mr Bored. Or is it Ms Bored? Soft focus on the
