I love my 10-22mm lens. I have found it to be very versatile. If you can get very close it can provide some dramatic sports photographs and can it ever pull a lot into the frame if you don’t have much space. Here I was standing in a very crowded parking lot near the Seattle Steam Company. It was the middle of the summer tourist rush and this factory is right below the Pike Place Market so there was no way that I was going to be able to wait until the parking lot emptied. My 10-22 allowed me to walk right to the edge of the parking lot and still get everything the whole building in the frame. I like the way that the lens pushes the smokestacks so that they almost appear to converge out of the complicated shapes and lines of the factory below.
