I like that Jem
Lefty, that's a cracker - good to see you making great use of the 'beast'.
Some terrific images from Gromit & Jem. The Sigma is just beautiful.
I am a bit ambivalent on very wide angle shots Amar, I went through a stage of doing all my landscapes wide open with a 12-28 on my (DX) DSLR, but I started to get bored of the wide angle distortion and the very obvious need to conform to the 'foreground interest' cliché if everything wasn't going to appear very small and distant. In the end I had to wean myself off by buying a 17-55! Trees falling over into the centre of the frame really bug me now. However, I did lots of learning there, and maybe it is time to put the lens back on the camera.

Here is an example of where detail really shines. You can almost touch it.
