__ so it was kind of nice out @lunchtime today, albeit a bit more like normal February temperatures. I had my really wide Tokina 11-16mm DX lens with me in my bag as I had thought I might have used it for something else earlier in the week. I didn’t have the DX (cropped) body with me though that the lens is really designed for so I slapped it onto the FX (full frame) body and went out walking for a little bit taking some pics. It’s kind of fun / funny how it vignettes when fulled back to anything more than 13 or 14 mm, pull it all the way back to 11 and you see what you get. I had some fun with it – sort of my own version of that little iPhone app “instagram”, except on a full sized camera and, well, round instead of square.
Anyway…
