This is a different perspective of the Arch. When everyone is crowding a public space I always have a craving to find a different view. The clouds were perfect that day.

This is where the 6.7-13mm really shines -- when it's big -- you need wide -- really wide.
I will say this though - wide will kick your ass. And the funny thing is - it gets kicked in Post - never when you on site. For some reason, everything always looks good in frame - never does it look like trash until you get it up on screen. And then it is a palm to the forehead moment.
Bam -- that is when you see the wide angle skew. The safe zone is always when you are 90 Deg. to the subject - always.

Shot in 3pm Sun at good 'ole f8. Great contrast, clouds in the sky, and crazy sharp - with the 10-30mm. St. Louis - no crop.

Street in St. Louis
One of my favorites -- as the detail on the front of this building seems to go on forever - and I couldn't imagine the cost of such ornate glazed tiles in today dollars.
This is in St. Louis where I was just shooting street. And what a great way to stop and really see the city, any city - but to walk and take the time to dissect scene after scene.
10-30mm - contrast and sharpening in ViewNX2 - no crop.
