Lol, I thought it was cake/ice cream/pudding.....
Love this one, love the toned down colors and composition works really well.
Day 12 - 7500+ Miles and still going!
I was outside giving my mountain bike a little loving care and maintenance tonight when I decided to look at the odometer. This bike and myself have been racing in Europe, the United States, and two 24 hour mountain bike races. We have retired from racing three times now. To say the least, we both have the dings and scars to show for it. Most of the bike is still the original components or early-on upgrades. And later this summer, we will race one more 24 hour race because were both stupid aaaannnd we will probably retire again. So as I said, I was looking at the odometer for the first time in a few years and found I was just about to tick over 7,500 miles recorded plus about two years of racing that are not included on this computer (previous computer died due to a river crossing during a race in Germany). This gave me an idea to shoot this specific part of the bike as it is most likely the single most worked part on the bike; the rear gears, chain, and derailleur. Nothing spectacular, but together we have been through hell and back and a few beers - the beers were a race in Germany where at the check-in points they gave you BEER! What a race, what a country!

Day 14 - Tamron 500mm
Ok, back to taking real pictures now that I had a little bit of time. Tried out our new Tamron 200-500mm lens on the D7100. Understanding this is not a high end pro lens, but a lens that is affordable and I have to say I am pretty impressed. Of course I did do some sharpening in post and the general stuff that we do with a photo.
Here's the stats. Haven't played with the lens to know its sweet spot yet.
D7100
ISO 200
1/1600
f/7.1
Distance 4.5 miles and 1 mile up. No cropping.

Here is a shot of a basketball net at about 18 feet with the D7100 in crop mode and then all my standard sharpening and editing blah blah blah.
Everything I'm shooting is at the limit of the lens. And it is noted that on this lens after 400mm the lens gets soft. However, if I'm buying a lens like this I want to use it at that range so everything I have posted is with a heavy sharpening and then just normal processing. Chromatic aberrations have been manageable in the raw editor as well as the heavy sharpening. I have also noticed that distant objects like the moon... not so good. I can pull better with my 55-300mm and crop down. However, a buffalo in the distance, or a mountain goat, anything that the zoom can pull in and fill the frame seems to be acceptable and usable. Once I get a bit of time I will probably do a write up review on what I have found, how to use it, and when to look elsewhere.
