It is all the different colours and reflections off the mud flats I like along with the very low angle.

WOW, this is an awesome shot. I like the angle,and the way all the clouds seem to lead to the bright sunset in the background. Very nice!

wow, beautifully captured! Tack sharp and the lighting is just amazing! Did you use a tripod for this one?

No, it was hand held, and I have just looked at the shutter speed recorded on the image. I did pop the ISO speed up 2 notches because of the light but I am amazed myself with the sharpness at that speed.

yes, absolutely! The high ISO doesn't show either, amazing! You must have a hell of a steady hand

I was more or less laying on the ground for that shot with camera firmly held with both hands tightly up against the face. No, my Sigma 10-20mm does not have IS. The lens I did have with IS, Canon 28-138mm, I lost a few weeks ago, along with some other kit, after a trip down a hillside. I am just waiting for the insurance company to finalize before getting replacement equipment.

oh no, that sucks... I'm glad you have insurance, though. I'm thinking about getting insurance for my equipment as well. Maybe I should do that...
Ah, the Sigma 10-20mm, that's on my Christmas / birthday-wishlist

All my photographic equipment is covered under my house contents insurance, so if you that that type of insurance check your policy document. No point in paying twice.
I like the lens a great deal and have no serious problems with it at all. You get the odd bit of curvature on building edges when at the extreme angles, but that is to be expected. I never buy brand new lens that have just been introduced. I tend to go for established lenses, read all the reviews I can before I buy, and so far I have been very lucky. It is nice to stay with the dedicated model lenses, but the extra cost can be extortionate, and after a couple of purchases you could have brought another lens from a different maker.

great tip about the insurance, I have to check with them about that, thanks!
Thanks about your feedback on the Sigma. You're right about the costs, that can be pretty crazy...

You sit and you wait, and you wait and snap away, and wait and snap away. I took 55 images tonight and I have 2 that I think are acceptable. This is one, about to post the other, but it's not as good as this one. Then apply a touch of contrast/saturation - selectively - just to bring out the hightlights.
