Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens

Last weekend I got a chance to shot Malaysia 2 famous buildings, Sultan Abdul Samad Building and KLCC. If u are a land scape photography lover, you must GO. The structure of the building is so fascinating and breath taking. You can go there by just taking LRT, easy and money saving :)


I used wide angle lens -Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens to shot both places. And the result is just super good. Of course this lens is not as good as the L lens, but good enough for land scape photography. If i were to compare with Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L USM Lens, this lens lose out in term of the sharpness and quality of the photos, and Canon 16-35mm do not have distortion of perspective. Anyway, shouldn't compare them, cause they are from different group of lens.






Photo 1 - taken with Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Lens . ISO 100, f/22, 35"

Photo 2 -taken with Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L USM Lens. ISO 100, f/22, 46"

Because i shot both photos at different time, the setting is abit different. Photo 2 is brighter because the exposure time is longer.


Below are photos that i took in KL last week, using Canon 10-22mm, and the results are just nice and i love the perspective.

f stops or apeture

My first post will be on f stops or apeture.

Most of my friends asked me on how to make photo looks blur at the background. Well, the secret is apeture or f stops. Here i will use f stops as my discussion.

The smaller the f stops, the more the background looks blur ( or bokeh ) but it depends on what u want to achieve for your end product- which is the outcome of your photo. It doesn't means the lower f point the outcome will be better.

I like using f/2.8 for portrait and sometimes i even use above f/2.8 but lower than f/4.0. I love the bokeh but i also want my subject to be sharp. f/2.8/f -f/3.2 is my ideal f point.

Experiment with f stops.

I am using canon 50mm f1/8 lens. The green pig as my subject.

Photo no 1 - f/1.8

Photo no 2 -f/2.8

Photo no 3 - f/4

As you can see, the object is sharper but less bokeh effect when i increase the f stops.

This is one of my favorite photos. I am using canon 70-200 mm, f/2.8. The sharpness and bokeh is perfect for me :)
