Remember that wide angles should not be used 'to get everything in'
102.4 degrees can come in very handy when doing group shots or space is at a premium....super wide lenses aren't just for landscapes!

Peter-T has a shot on the link above, London 0640 which is a perfect example of this. Peter, i'm not having a dig at the shot it was just a good example of what can happen to shapes at the 10mm end.
I do agree, but the effects of a wide angle towards the edge of the frame should always be considered. If there is limited room or many people to get in the frame then you will have to be prepared for shapes looking different from the norm.

I'm also not trying to pigeon hole wide angles in to landscape use only, as they are usually too wide for landscape. I am though trying to emphasise the fact that wide angles can be used for increasingly creative photography, due to how much can be shown in the frame.

Very smart shot and great use of the lens!
Remember that wide angles should not be used 'to get everything in' but rather as a tool to develop the scene.
