The first pic is a 14 image stitch of seattle from admiralty point.

SKip to mount saint helens.



the falls is a 3 image blend/hdr



the one with the crystal reflecting lake is Coldwater lake. It's a 7 image hdr take with the 10-22 ef-s. there are two little fishermen on the lake and a couple walkin on the board walk.



The cheetah pics are canons 70-200 f4L



Ranier:



the falls is another 7 image HDR



The picture of mount rainier is a 7 image stitch from the parking lot of all places.



Snoqualmie falls



the first 3 images are wide angle shots with the ef-s 10-22 lens. You can see the perspective distortion.



The next shot is a 140 image stitch, yes, 140 image stitch. full resolution is over 100k pixels wide and 60k pixels tall. file size is about 3.7 gigs when saved as a tiff. about 11 gigs when saved as a psd.



the next shot is acctually my first attempt at that mosaic the day before at the same time of day. It is a 70 image stitch. It has alot more issues than the 140 image stitch.



Here is an idea of the real size of some of my mosaics and panorama's.



I'll link it. this is a huge image and I had not finished the blending on purpose. so it wil take a long while to load.

Well I never used it. If I wanted the tamron its big selling point was the fast lens. My 50 f1.4 was as sharp has more contrast and vivid colors. The 50 also has a buttery smooth bokeh. I usually find for any outings I am using the 70-200, or the 50. If I am doing wide angle stuff on the 20d the 28mm of the tamron was not cutting it. This would cause me to grab the 10-22 ef-s. It seems odd but such a perfect lens was never out of the bag.



My only real issue was the muted colors, the tamron had very good contrast. It was very sharp. But every other lens I had represented the colors so much better. When post processing the tamron I had to up the saturation way to much for my liking.





I paid 275 for it used. I sold it to a gentleman for 325. He tried it out, tested it and pronounced it the finest example he had found for his 5d.
