I am super happy, I now own the Canon EF-S 10-22 mm f/3.5-4.5. I have wanted this lens for such a long time; having always felt that the kit 18-55 lens was never wide enough for my style. So here is my first shared shot with the wide angle. This is the 'Angel of the North' sculpture found on the outskirts of Newcastle (next to the A1). The sculpture is 20 metres tall and has a 'wingspan' of 54 metres. I really wasn't standing far away from the sculpture and easily got it to fit in the shot. The slight distortion in the wings will be due to being slightly off centre. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.
A shot from a few years back now (maybe in 2009/2010). This is the famous Brighton Pavilion. A three image/three exposure (nine shots) HDR image captured using a Canon EOS 500D and 18-55 mm kit lens. Processed using a plethora of software: Photomatix/Hugin/Adobe Lightroom/GIMP.
An alternative view of a photo uploaded some time ago. A highland cow seen not too far from Curbar Edge in the Peak District. I walked past this guy in fading light, he seemed very inquisitive and came within a metre before wandering off. A three exposure HDR image processed using Photomatix and Adobe Lightroom.
Some of the many windows found on the John Player Warehouse in Lenton, Nottingham. I've tried to correct the perspective on this one, mainly because I couldn't get a head on shot due to fences and buildings being in the way.

I've decided to join the masses and create a "Photoblog", the only name left that was vaguely similar to this was "Pixog". I enjoy taking pictures, but only ever view my efforts as amateurish, so I've decided to share some of my favourites with the world and see what you think!
Currently I'm using a Canon EOS 500D and a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10. In the past I've used a Samsung Digimax A6 (my first ever camera) and a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3. Software used for editing includes Photomatix Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, GIMP and Hugin.
