I'm leaving for my 1200 mile migration to Cleveland next Saturday morning. The trip is mainly freeways, but the occasional photo-op occurs every once in a while. I'll have my D800 on the passenger seat during the trip. Which lens do you think I should have mounted for the spur of the moment photo?

80-400VR on mine because I was out shooting this morning.

WHEW!!!!!!!!!! After the last couple of days of testing out my new 80-400VR, I was kind of disappointed. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has made a purchase, only to realize it was the wrong choice. I was starting to think I had a fairly expensive boat anchor. But, I kept reading and...

In reality, it was darker out than these photos show. I was a considerable distance away. And I was using a CP filter. Let me add that I am not pleased with these 3 photos and I am only posting them as examples. Could they have been done better. Yes.

oooooppps! A bird shot.

This is a 7 frame panorama. It is 66" by 8". This is a 100% crop of the pano. For my needs, this lens will work well. No need for instant focus, I don't shoot birds, and I won't use a TC with this lens.

Ol' Glory in B&W

And it looks just like the pictures. I'm pleased. These are simply test examples: Flag was blowing around in the courtyard.

With my 80-400VR coming tomorrow, I had to decide what to do with my 2-ring 80-200. Just as I was about to throw it in the garbage can, I thought, "What about using it as a portrait lens?" I've decided to keep it. This is ISO 6400.

Bill, in Black & White And, her eyes have not been enhanced. It was the flash.

You know the stuff. Tomorrow, you'll be able to pick me up and look right through me like a rifle bore. Yep. Stem to stern. Then, tomorrow afternoon, the doctor is going to insert a Toyota up my butt. I'm hoping it's a Prius and not an Avalon.

I walked out my door and was I surprised! I don't know if she flew up or walked up the stairs. I grabbed my camera (wrong lens) for a run-n-gun. My neighbor wasn't phased in the least.

Picked up the umbrella today. I will remove the umbrella's chair mount (white at the bottom of the handle) for more flexability.

Sometimes, flare works. But for me, I'd rather not see it.

I'm pleased with the resulting mount system. I had to do some grinding and adjusting, but it works like a champ! I will use a very lightweight umbrella like the ones you mount to a beach chair. It is fully adjustable to any angle and will keep the sun off the lens. I won't use it until I go...
