A beautiful lens with multiple personalities and all of them satisfying. F1.2 is magical and suitable for unique video or still work. By f2 it is a very sharp and behaves a more like a typical 50mm as you stop down. You can't go wrong even though a bit pricey and manual focus.

Lovely image! I enjoyed looking at all of your portfolio. You have a eye for color which seems more like that of a painter than a photographer.
Cheers

The 14-24 mm f2.8 G is a stellar lens. However, when shooting on a IR modified camera the results are less so. Since it is not designed "as are most lenses" to properly focus into the IR range it struggles with sharp focus and has more distortion notably beyond the center of the image resulting in an overall lack of definition at any given aperture. The same image shot with a standard "color" body would require less work in post to get an optimal look. Nonetheless, the resulting IR images can be quite satisfying despite these issues.

Shot at f1.2 Lot's of distortion and CA's but I love the look. Details just melt away from where sharp focus is intended.

The scale of your subject is so ambiguous. The rock faces look like they were crafted from flint. So cool and well done.

Yes, the black and white works! Dramatic, dark and high contrast are the way to go here just make sure you do not clip your highlights when you convert. This version looks a bit light to me but may be related to other variables(ie my screen, jpg conversion). By all means shoot more of this since you obviously have an eye for it." "Seeing" abstract compositions will make all other types of your photography stronger.
All Best!

Nicely done work of pure abstraction. Perhaps even stronger in black and white. Cropping is spot on!
