Lens Shootout at Lincoln Park
My Nikon D100 was used for all shots. The following lenses were used:
Sigma 15-30mm
Tokina 17mm ATX
Nikon 18-70mm "kit" lens
Tokina 12-24mm
This session came about because Dennis was trying to decide which superwide lens to buy for use with his D100. I thought it would be cool to gather our existing wide angle lenses to let Dennis try them all at the same time. I borrowed Benson's 18-70mm and 12-24mm to use with my Sigma 15-30mm and Tokina 17mm (prime).
Can you tell which lens was used in each picture? The 18-70mm is probably easier to spot (when used at 50mm or longer). Like I mentioned before, I found that I basically forgot that we were testing lenses, and ended up just concentrating on making the pictures. We thought that all the lenses were very good.

I forgot to ask you... which images are your favorites from this series? Just curious...

I like the 5th on up from the bottom. The one where you are looking down the hallway. I thought it was a b&w photo until I saw the splash of color on the top and right side.
You must've had a lot of fun.

Hi Warren!
#5, #10, and #15 are my favs.
Hmm, multiples of five... how perfect :)
They just really stand out to me. #5 is symmetric which is complementary to the building itself. It just cries out structure!
And I don't like #10 JUST because I'm a sucker for flower pics.. but your pic is like a sea of flowers bouyant on the green. They are so pretty :) I love it!
#15 is curiously inviting. Somewhere to take a little break, lol. Is that a windmill on the other side?
Hi Lea,
Nice to hear from you. Thanks for your comments.
It's nota windmill, it's a large metal sculpture.
