Sunset, but with a wider view

@Tony Duque: You're welcome !
Cheers

@Alun Lambert: Thanks. I have not had this lens for long and shooting wide is much more difficult (for me) than with longer lenses. I have learnt using it that pictures look better with something upfront in the picture. So on this beach picture, the camera was approximately 1 foot off the ground to give this depth of view impression. Not difficult, just another way of shooting.

@DarkElf: Thanks. It was a bit of a challenge not to burn the skies and to keep the rocks light enough, without ending up with a "flat toned" picture. I must admit some post processing was involved to end up with a half satisfactory picture.
Wide angles are not only very different than longer lenses in composition, lighting is seldom right across the whole picture !

@R.T.KEAN: Well, I am experimenting with wide angle photography at the moment. I have never had wide lenses since I started a long time ago. And looking at a scene, with allm y lenses in the bag, and trying out different ways of capturing the feeling is interesting. The 18th of January picture is my classical style, I have been doing this for years and when I used to have an 800 mm lens (mirrors) I loved to compress perspective in Manhatten type of town centers. This picture is still "under construction" as far as composition is concerned. All I have understood for the moment is that you have to have something close (real close) in the front to give the picture any interest. Now the depth of field is an issue. I am not yet getting what I like out of this lens.
