    Weekly Challenge Sept. 15-22: Changing Seasons

    I'll toss one in. Sac fields, today, ~30 miles from downtown Sactown. Backroad cruisin', blowin' off some steam with my camera as my trusty companion. Theraputic. Found more spaces I'd been through but not taken the time to shoot. "Wonder where THIS road leads?" :cool: Better to get out and...

    Opinions on the Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G VR

    I like my 55-200. For what I use it for, which is mainly landscape type shots where I need to zoom in a bit. Doesn't quite open up like an 18-200 would, but it works for me. Haven't tried it for close up/macro type shots, though. It was cheap enough and can produce some very nice shots.
