Sunset At Goosenecks State Park Overlook, Utah

Capturing the many bends of the San Juan River at Goosenecks State Park was a challenge because of facing the sun at sundown with a cloudless sky and that my normal wide angle zoom was not wide enough. I decided to try my Rokinon 8mm and photograph after the sun had set. When my son Paul appeared in the image I felt I had the best of both worlds. My son in the image and capturing all the bends of the river at the same time. For a fairly inexpensive lens I was very pleased.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II ,Rokinon 8mm

This is a treasure beyond words!
To make and be in possession of such an image is so special.
That Rokinon in your hands was more than able to do the job.
