[QUOTE="hark, post: 766820, member: 13196"] Glad you received your lens. One of the biggest differences with wide angle lenses when composing landscape/scenic images is to include some type of foreground interest. Examples can be leading lines, having the lens close to the ground to capture foreground flowers with a scene in the background, or some other type of foreground element that will draw your eye into the frame. Just be sure to keep watch of verticals in building photos since you previously said you wanted to shoot cityscapes. Verticals and horizontals can be straightened in Camera RAW but if they are way off, sometimes it leaves a huge amount that needs to be cropped. There is a Transform tab in LR and Camera RAW (if you aren't familiar with it). Here is an example (sorry it's a Nikon lens). This was taken inside a historic Log Cabin. The rooms are very small. Notice how the verticals are off in the sooc unedited jpeg. But when vertical and/or horizontal straightening is applied, the corners wind up needing to be cropped as you can see in the second pic.
