I was extremely lucky to capture this magic moment. Of course a little PP in Lightroom helped.

The Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 DC EX HSM lens. So far I had a chance to shoot a handful of photos but that was enough to get me hooked on super wide angle lenses. I guess that makes me one of the fat folk (See my post on photographic taxonomy for explanation). This lens opens up so many opportunities to a photographer – go low and wide, high and wide or just wide. The perspective is amazing. Would you believe that for this shot I was no farther than sixty centimeters from the trunk of the first tree. Amazing stuff.
