FEATURED Photo of the Day

Since it's opening day in Minnesota today, I went out this morning and "shot" a buck. I guess that means I can get on with the rest of the weekend now...

6D, Tamron 70-300 at 300, ISO 100, f/5.6, 1/250sec

Nice! How is the fresh meat taste like? JK
You have the DI USD VC right?
BTW, is that picture at 100% crop? I have that same lens too but for some reasons the IQ of mine @ 300mm isn't good.
Maybe, I'll try again.

Yes, on both accounts. I bought this lens instead of an EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS II. Compare both at 200mm, and f/5.6, the Tamron is every bit as good. Bumping ISO 2 stops on the 6D is nothing, and the Tamron was 1/4 the price, so that was really a no-brainer. For the most part, I usually back off from 300mm, because IQ is generally not very good there, but it does surprise me sometimes. I will agree though, it's not a very good 300mm lens, but it's a great 200mm.

Something I found on the hard drive. This won't be on my site... there probably won't be a site to upload it to come Friday morning

Were you in Chernobyl? Sheesh

Just one of the abandoned houses around here.

It comes up for renewal on Sunday, and money's too slow coming in to make it in time. I've got one day left, and then I have to call them and pull the plug before they try to drain my empty bank account.

Probably for the best. I've only made about fifteen bucks from it all year.

Played around with this a couple of years ago, and knew then I wanted to get back to it. Better late than never, I guess. This is one of the first pics from my initial setup. I'll be playing around with it for a while.

Sunset yesterday.

My online site has been renewed... Paypal literally couldn't have cut it any closer on their transfer to the bank.

On to the next problem - getting Cavirtex to cough up the money they owe me.

The wife & I spent a lot of time doing this a while back. It is lots of fun, but hard to capture a good splash. That's a nice one!

Probably my favorite from the last evening.
