The first shot of just the hardscape could almost be a marine tank!

Re: 90x45x45cm - The Unknown
After being inspired by Mark E with some of his recent shots I thought Id try some super wide pictures so popped the 10-20mm onto the camera. Most of these below were taken at 14mm and I think that will be my focal length for the final comp picture when I take it in the middle of May
Some were lit with the solar1 and others with added flash on a cable and pointed into the top of the tank

Re: 90x45x45cm - The Unknown
great pics of a fantastic tank! Is there any particular knack to getting the HC to trail like that, or do you just let it do its own thing! Cheers, Matt

Re: 90x45x45cm - The Unknown
Cheers Ben and Bigmatt. The trailing HC is one of my fav parts of the tank too 🙂 It was created when I stuffed a small 1cm plug of HC into a crack in the lava rock. I think I trimmed it once when it was starting to go vertical but it then changed direction downwards and its not been touched since so its all natural.

Awesome stu!
UWA really work a treat on big tanks. Much more so than smaller ones IME.
You just need a bit of backlighting now

Re: 90x45x45cm - The Unknown
Great shots mate. All these awesome UWA shots are making me green with envy!
Did you use your 10-22mm on your 5D2, or 30D? I thought the 10-22 was EF-S. I'm guessing you have to crop that black edges?
I'm trying to decide which UWA to get myself for my 50D, or wait...
I'm thinking of going FF next year (I get a nice bonus for doing 6 months in Afghanistan) so might get the 16-35 or 17-40L. The 17-40 seems great for the price and nearly as nice as the 16-35.
Your thoughts welcome!
Oh, and great 'scape! IAPLC entry?

I prefer the natural look all this trimming is fake, you cant make it look bigger. Its a lie.

Re: 90x45x45cm - The Unknown
It works perfectly at 14mm though but Ill be selling the 10-22mm soon to fund a 16-35L for the weddings. I would go with the 17-40mm as it gets really good reviews but the extra stops to F2.8 will make all the difference in a dark church
Good news on the full frame next year although it might be 5d3 by then which will no doubt mean and increase in price 🙁
Cheers George. I tried out the 10-22mm on the 5d to see how it went. You only have to pop off the rubber EFS adapter on the back of the lens to get it to work on the 5d with the proviso you dont go below 12mm as the 5d mirror can then slap the lens which breaks the 5dGeorge Farmer said:
