I finally got a new lens, a Sigma 10-20 and Yes I love it! This is my first wide angle lens so i am still trying to get a grip of it. This is the first one from my Sigma, its a 3exp hdr with an nd8 grad (Cokin P121) perhaps its to much icing on the cake but I am pretty please with the results.
Hope you like!

I am the taste of water, O Kaunteya! I am the shining of the Moon and the light of the Sun, and Pranava, and Universal Knowledge, and the Cosmic Voice, and humanity in people!

Try to cognize in Me the Primal Essence of all beings, O Partha! I am the Consciousness of all those who have developed the consciousness; I am the splendor of all the beautiful!
