Well, after taking photographs a few days ago of the Discovery shuttle with my wimpy 17-85 lens, I knew I needed a zoom lens. I forked over some money today and got one at Best Buy. I've read reviews on this lens, and they were pretty good. No, it's not L series glass, but I'm not made of money and I'm not a pro. Anyway, I tested it today, and I really like it. I'm going to have fun taking wildlife photos and other distant subjects with this thing. Now, to a few photos:
That toy is going to open up a whole new world for your photo hobby. I remember having buyers remorse on dropping the $$$ on my first good telephoto lens. It lasted until the first time I took it out in the field...NEVER regretted the purchase since. Have fun and looking forward to seeing more of your shots with it.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Yea, I thought long and hard about dropping the money for it, but I knew it would be worth it. Photography is a big hobby of mine, and I love every minute of it.
I'm a storm chaser and amateur photographer from Amarillo, TX. I have a passion for weather and an interest in photography. With these two interests intertwined, I hope to bring you photographs and video from a complete spectrum of the weather world. I shoot most of my images with a Canon digital SLR camera. However, I do shoot some video because I chase storms for a local tv station. When Mother Nature isn't cooperating, I will post random thoughts, and I will also post random photos from the photography excursion that I sometimes go on. Finally, I also discuss forecast decisions on a possible chase day. I will keep this blog updated as much as possible. Hope to see you again!
