Ah, that time of the day when the light is perfect :) I like this. If only the balloon would have been just a little higher above the roof lines. Regardless I consider this a very good picture. It keeps me looking at it to see what I can find in the details.
The 18mm is my bread & butter lens when doing "real estate photography", The funny thing is that I've gotten so accustomed to it that it is my standard lens for everything apart from handheld nightshots and telephoto work. My standard "telephoto lens" is the planar 50/1.4 which works like the "Imagon" between 1,4 and 2,0 and is ordinaray good lens from 2.8.
