Here's where I've been the last few days:

Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado by David Stephens, on Flickr

I borrowed the incredible EF 14mm f/2.8L II from Canon. It just blew me away, to have an ultra-wide rectilinear that was so undistorted. Look at those corners. You can stand 30-feet in front of a build, take the whole facade and the lines are straight. Simply incredible. I'm buying one when the budget allows.

Great shot Dave. I agree on the 14mm. I have this lens, but don't get many chances to take advantage of it. I will have it with me on my upcoming Yosemite trip next month however.

Ultra-wides require a little different "eye". You either need a big foreground or a big-sky background. Without the cloud in this one, it wouldn't have worked near as well. Of course, I wanted to capture the ripples on the dunes and the mountain and the cloud, so this lens really works for that kind of shot.

When the clouds are marginal or non-existent, then I'll crop 2:1 or 5:2 to create a single-shot pano and that works well.

This guy dove into the weeds not 20 feet in front of me and came back up with dinner. I actually had too much lens at the time as its hard to keep a fast bird in frame with 700mm when its that close.

Wow! Great shot.

To those that haven't experienced it, focusing 700mm when a bird is flying at you is very, very tough. It took me years to start getting them and I still miss a bunch. Congrats Ed.
