Thank you both for commenting. It was a fun exercise. The shots with the Tamron were taken with one hand as I was holding the umbrella with the other. http://a4.pbase.com/g10/64/511964/2/167191609.4uY0RMQl.jpg The rest were taken from inside the car, making sure that the snow was blowing in the othe...

Of course, not everybody got the memo. a99, Tamron 15-30mm 2.8, Minolta 70-210mm (beercan) http://a4.pbase.com/g10/64/511964/2/167191614.S8ekMoed.jpg http://a4.pbase.com/g10/64/511964/2/167191618.o30zWToz.jpg http://a4.pbase.com/g10/64/511964/2/167191630.QBO7gntO.jpg http://a4.pbase.com/g10/64/51196...

Sury,
I see the image in mine and your post.
Look for architecture and cityscapes next.

Thanks to you both for commenting. I am enjoying getting to know this lens.
For Yildiz,

Testing out a new lens. Yes, they are overproduced but the capability of this baby is clear.

Just great but #2 is magical (even for a documentary shot).

Clearly you are doing what you love in life.
Much respect.

Your last image is a fine example of my point. Crop her at the shoulder and something else happens.
Our equipment catches us sometimes. Even within those constraints, we can find beauty.

Good evening folks. Recently, I find myself trying to crop these images to find something more personal. The ice block and the drummer are prime examples where one can find an image within the image. Crop the ice line at the top, and the drum stick and I bet you will see something different and wort...

Hoping for a golf bet payout.
No chance.

Again, fine work.
Ever thought of getting close enough for live action portraits?

Very nice. You have probably stated this earlier in the thread, but what was the focus setting?
All the best.

Excellent work but the last one stands out for me.

And now for the red meat, well, white meat actually. Part 2 a77II and Tamron 150-600mm. I have to say that I still struggle with which focus setting I should use for the a77II in this circumstance. Not sure if my hit rate is good or needs improvement. http://a4.pbase.com/g10/64/511964/2/166705282.Lg...

Conowingo Dam supports one of the largest bald eagle populations on the east coast. That population swells in December as migrating eagles find it a good place to rest and fatten up for the journey south. Fish that flow through the dam become disoriented and end up easy catches for the birds and opp...
