Some shots taken with my new 12mm Samyang wide angle lens. I'm quite impressed with it. Any thoughts appreciated.

Nice series.

Looks like a very nice place. Like #3 the best.

Lovely silky streams.....

Beautiful set. My favorite is the last one.

My favourite is the last one because it does not have that milky shot.

Hi Andy,

Another vote for #3 - and I think that's because many of the others just have too much of the image area devoted to blurred water.

In #3 you have captured a landscape with the stream's water rushing through it - good.

In #2 and #4, plus to some extent also #1, we have a picture of blurry water with some sharp edges - doesn't work for me.

It is the composition in #5 that doesn't work (not sure why).

#6 is pleasant enough, although again I'm not sure there wasn't a slightly better composition if you'd panned or stepped left a little bit.

You have achieved a fairly consistent White Balance across the series, which is where many people 'go wrong' shooting such scenes and exposures look OK too.

You seem to have presented a series of silky water shots - did you shoot any with sharper water drops? I try to remember to shoot both styles when in such locations - because I know there will be some people that just don't like the silky water look.

I hope my thoughts are helpful, Dave
