A Quiet Night.
OK, today I'm starting a somewhat short series here shot back in February just to test my new lens, Tokina 11-16mm. The walk was short actually and I couldn't force my brain to be creative, but well, just some test shots here and there. I ought to try it again with another walk but with sirens going on and off, it would be a bit dangerous to walk outside in the dark. Despite the title, it was actually shot in the morning just before sunrise.
Generally, I think I'm liking the lens. It does show some "halo" or some nice burst around light sources (the image here shot at f/2.8, widest aperture for this lens). However, the flare around the center of the image can be a bit annoying (but can be creative as well in other situations); This happened while the hood was on the lens, but such hoods have flower-like design and they are more to protect the front element rather than effectively block stray light.
