Lens comparison - by photos..

I thought that I should write something about lenses..

I decided that the easiest way would be to demonstrate via photos, all taken from the same spot in a garden in Thornbury looking out towards the river Severn.

The photos are not my best and are straight out of the camera. upon reflection I should have chosen a better subject and cleaned them up a bit, but I hope it shows you what's what!

So starting with Extra Wide Angle.

The Tokina 11-16mm:
