Playing around the Wide End

Finally decided to pack my wide angle lens (10-22 on 20D) to the basin recently.
Had to get pretty close to the subjects though for these shots. My rugged good looks finally payed off :wink :D

    Nice. Where is this place? It looks like a place I know off of 17A heading toward Walterboro SC.

    Is that a telephone pole in the background or a nesting pole?

    Thanks for commenting, you seem to have a good eye for detail. This shot was taken in the Sepulveda wildlife reserve in Los Angeles CA, and the pole in the background is actually a perch.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Your wide-angle perspective gives your first shot an eye-catching creativity. That sure is an ugly fish, though. Any idea what it is? Some kind of carp? Good work on both shots.

    Awesome job with the wide-angle perspective. It really worked well with your first shot.
