    Jonathan, what a wonderful image you captured. The foreground, midground, and background elements are so well composed. That sunrise has got me inspired to wake up early (one of these days)!


    Joel, no need to apologize. Your image is just as inspiring.


    Great job fellas, erno.

    So the 8-16mm does work on 1.3 crop cameras, but wouldn't you be better off with the 12-24mm? It goes to 12mm; hasless vigeneting and less distortion.

    I didn't know that the Sigma 8-16mm was a fish-eye on a 1.3 crop camera, that makes a lot more sense now. I thought the 8-16mm would just have a littlemore barrel distortion, but so much distortion to have a fish-eye effect.

    I would be interested to see how much input you get in another thread. The process looks interesting, but I have had to buy similar products for projects I have constructed, I would think these prints would be rather expensive. They do offer a sample, maybe its worth ordering.


    Edit: Min pricing for a 12 x 20 was $181 US
