Couple from last night

Still trying to get some stunning sunrise/cloudscapes. If they happened everyday they wouldn't be appreciated as much. No luck this morning either but figured i might as well take some and work on composition and depth of field. Me and the dof calculator are having an argument right now. It...

One from this morning. The sun soon became blocked with clouds. Will try again tomorrow.

A new lens from Tokina for DX owners is now available. Too early to tell, but looks very promising. The only hands on aside from Tokina i could find is here:Tokina 11-20mm f/2.8 PRO DX Initial Thoughts A wide angle enthusiast on dpr has rented this lens for the weekend and will report his...

For sure my favorite last month

I'm going to post this in the favorite February shot thread as well. This cute little bugger is my favorite recently.

Would you buy it now if you didn't have it? Being new to modern cameras and lenses, i've quickly found out there is no perfect landscape lens. Especially within my price range. Don't want to spend upwards of a grand on another lens. If i didn't shoot the sun so much the Tokina 11-16 would be a...

Just now noticing how "cool" my deer shots are turning out. Been using auto wb. Once realized, in View Nx i set to "sunlight" and went up or down from there. Seems there is a range anywhere from 5 - 6500 on temp. where they can look acceptable. Here is a before and after (different pics but...

Glad to have the Tamron replacement arrive today. Since they give you two days if there is something wrong with it, i didn't have much time to put it to the test. Thankfully the deer like our yard and a little corn. The lens mount is acceptable on this copy and appears good and sharp...

Finally realized the brown truck wasn't coming down our road anytime soon with the snow, so i met him at the highway and got my goodies. The Tamzooka is back!!! Monopod, lowepro flipside 400, fluid head, extra battery, lcd hood/loupe, filter, -- I'm done for a while.

Lasted for just a few minutes this morning and managed to get a few in the yard.

Beautiful Stockton Lake.

Had to share these from this morning in the yard. It only lasted for a few minutes so i raced out and got a few.

Finally got some snow yesterday. Was really looking forward to shooting various scenes while i did my scouting, but ended up finding out just how difficult it can be to capture all the beautiful snow reflections in the trees. What i was seeing didn't end up showing in the pics. Bracketing and...

Managed to get one evening with the Tamron before sending it back. Hoping to get lots of mileage out of this lens and look forward to getting it back. This old doe has so much expression i can pick her out every time i see her. Our house borders lots of conservation ground where there is a...

Few more with the big gun.

The brown truck showed up this afternoon and i didn't waste any time getting the tamron out and take it for a spin. I do have a question about the lens mount that i posted this evening in the Q&A forum for some advice...

I just received my Tamron 150-600 and immediately noticed there is some play in the mount. It is just enough that if i move it back and forth i can hear it. As it is i guess i'm alright with it, but am worried that with much use taking it on and off the camera that it might get worse. Would...

One from a few mornings ago. Quite redundant shooting the sun all the time but i really enjoy it. Images are going to change rather quickly with the big gun arriving (Tamron 150-600). We have a very target rich environment for that lens and fits well in what we enjoy - wildlife. Deer pics...
