I know this category is far less popular to the average public, but I just love wide angle shots. The thing is that it will always give you something you can not see by yourself due to its wider than normal human eye view.
A wide angle will give you always a very big field of depth, meaning you don't have to worry about your aperture so much and even the point of focus is less important. I could fix the focus on 2m in manual mode for example and do a whole walk without a need of changing it. On top, a wide angle can use pretty slow shutter speed: e.g. at 10mm, 1/20 s would be more than enough for a hand held and steady shot. Could it even get easier than this?
I had in my mind to takes shots at aperture F 9-11 as this is two stops closed down from my max aperture and in general this is the sweet spot of your lens, meaning the sharpest images. There was more then enough light to support this anyway. However, due to a "Sensor dust check" carried out at F25, I forgot to turn it back and that is the aperture I used to shoot, absolute beginner mistake, I know, luckily it turned out ok for the pictures.

Enjoy!
