Desperate time calls for desperate measure.

In order to have enough money to buy an ultra wide angle lens for my Canon EOS 40D before I embark my journey to a foreign land, I resorted to buying lottery.

Numbers bought are 1022, 2201 and 3545.

The numbers are found on a Canon EF-S 10-22mm F3.5-4.5 USM lens, the truly ultra wide angle lens for cameras with a cropped sensor.

The difference of an image at 17mm (with my current lens) and 10mm (with the ultra wide angle lens) is simply huge.

Another example of UWA at 10mm by the photographer Narrowband.

Sighs. Dream on, Jason, dream on.
