Sunset with the New Tokina.... I Love It!!

[robbins.photo]

Wow... very nice. Tokina huh? Hmm.. methinks I'd best be updating my wishlist.. lol.

You are rethinking your Sigma ha ? LOL

Yes these pictures are truly amazing!!!

Lol well I'm still going to need a wide angle zoom of some sort, but thinking for landscapes and some of the real estate stuff I'll be shooting soon this might make a really good addition to the bag.

And the best thing is when shot level, there is very little distortion. This lens is excellent in close quarters and for landscapes.

I just bought the Tokina 11-16 for my Canon and I'm so excited to get out and use it!
Also your shots are beautiful, I'm a sucker for a sunset.

I agree. I was so happy I stumbled on this location. Probably one of the best in my area, and it was right there the whole time!

Amen on the Tokina 11-16mm. I got one for my D5300 and really like its IQ. It had many performance evaluations that were better than the Nikon 14-24 I was first looking at. Really glad I pulled the trigger on this one. RR

Hey! I love this lens. I do wish I had some GND's and ND's, but for 500 dollars, I'll just use HDR (as I did below). Edited in Photomatix, then PS CS5, then Lightroom.

Comments and Critiques are always welcome and appreciated!

You came there too late to catch the sinking tanker, which spilled that crude into your piece of see.

I love it, don't worry, it's quite impressive..but if you're asking for critique..and I see this with a lot of landscape photos of tropical places - it's overly edited to the point where the water looks fake..it kinda just looks like fog in how smooth it is with no ripples or waves showing (2nd more so than the 1st).....don't hate me!

I'm assuming this is a long exposure, maybe at least 10sec or more right? How do you HDR a long exposure? Do you just bracket 3 long exposures together?? Or are you tone mapping a single exposure? Just curious. These are beautiful.

D-B-J, am looking forward to your progress....so I can learn
i have the same Tokina lens and just bought the Singh-Ray Vari-N-Duo a couple of weeks ago. Still learning it but liking my progress.
like your photos posted, but have no tech advice for you.
Went out tonight and found the winds blowing the sand wildly at the beach, so didn't 't even take equipment out of the bag..

I love the new lens, and have found it quite rewarding. Slowly but surely learning how to best use it.
