[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 792136, member: 50197"] I finally got a chance to go do some shooting in the local area today. Exclusively used the 200-500. There were one or two shots I would have liked to use the 24-70, but wasn't going to go through the hassle of unmounting and stowing the monster, then put it back on. AF worked very well. There were a few instances where I had to help it a little by getting it close with the manual focus ring, but that ring is right there by my left hand, and it's so easy to do. Figured I'd post a few here, rather than start a new thread. I love the look of the shapes and colors in the water in the first one. Unfortunately, the gator kind of gets a little lost in the patterns. I guess that's why they call it camouflage. [ATTACH type="full"]380682._xfImport[/ATTACH] I think this is my favorite of the batch. [ATTACH type="full"]380678._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]380679._xfImport[/ATTACH] Great colors and textures in this one. Not wild about the central subject. [ATTACH type="full"]380680._xfImport[/ATTACH] I think the thorns on the stalk to the right are a nice bit of extra interest. Some might find it distracting. Neither myself or the Pup thought so, but everyone is different. [ATTACH type="full"]380681._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
