Great photos! A lot of interest for the eye. The first one looks a little less contrasty than the second one which looks better to me. Perhaps there is just a touch of flare from the sun on the first one. A little PP could match the two up. Do you use a hood on your 10-22? I havethe lensas well, and have thought about getting the hood. It is so small I am not sure it would be capable of helping too much.
Thanks

Tom,
Regarding contrast: I shot raw and did the post processing using Canon DPP and probably had just one notch more contrast or brightness adjustment over the other. In either case I only adusted brightness and contrast a notch or two max (not much adjustment). These pictures came out of the camera really good. JPG's don't look near as good as the processed Raw or 16 bit Tif's that's for sure.
Regarding a Hood:I do not have one. I use a back pack and the bulkyness of hoods is a real pain, some times I lose a good shot because I don't use hoods, especially on wide angles. For these pictures the sun was at my back and I don't think I had a flare.
I am just real happy with the performance of the lensthese pictures, sharp as a tack. Also, while I am at it, the canon 50D is a wonderful tool, I am really impressed with the image quality I am getting out of it.

I always use the hoods (if I have one), but I do agree that they can be a pain. With longer ones I can store them reversed, but the hood for my 17-40 (which I believe is the same hood as the 10-22) I have to keep it separately in it's own compartment.Quote:

Ultima,
If PL means polarizer as in circular polarizer, then no I did not us a polarizer. I just had a UV haze filter. By the way the UV haze filter I used had to be an ultra thin one because of the ultra wide angle lens (damn things are expensive). If I didn't answer your question then that means that I am retarded and you will have to define PL for me. Thank you for looking an my pictures.

Thanks Bryan
