Purchased one of these a few days back and today the weather was nice and sunny, so coupled with the local Cops and Rodders show I grabbed a few shots

Nice and clear shots - (just my opinion ) the wide angle distors the car/truck too much for me and Iwould have tried a 50mm or even 28mm (anyway just my opinion). It works well with the 2 shots of the horses.
Appreciate that, I was mainly experimenting most of the shots were taken at the extreme end (8mm) so that I could get an appreciation of what the lens was capable of, as well as being close which I knew would result in exaggerated perspectives. Certainly with 50mm or (probably 28mm) I would have had to get too far back and crowd would have been an issue. As yet I still haven't taken that many shots with this lens though, some fun for the future.

Interesting shots!
I'm looking at getting a Sigma 8-16mm, would you recommend the lens now that you've had it for a while?
Do you think the extra 2mm vs a 10-20mm makes all that much difference?
love the horses...cars err not so much.
Yes nice shots and nice lens - I have 2 x Sigma 10 -20's my favourite lens. Just have to watch you don't include your feet in each shot.

Did a sign image like this up for the weekly challenge (Week 8 2014) and this is another one I did after for a bit of fun. Have a few other ideas also that I will do in the next few weeks - time permitting.
