TPF Across America: The Journey of One Lens Across the USA

[Markw]

Well, here are my shots with the lens. I'm extremely dissappointed that it rained almost every single day that I had the lens until yesterday. I didnt get a chance to get out too much today, but this is what I got (and some older ones, just to demonstrate the macro ability with the M2 tube. At 35mm, the macro is beyond 1:1. I dont know how far beyond, but definately beyond. I know the HDR is terrible, but I figured it was a good time to try it out. All shots are taken with the lens. Its quite nice, I must admit.

Something like 17 vertical shots stitched.

The lens will be shipped to the next user tomorrow!

Great shots! Looks like you had fun with it

Actually, I like #2 and would say it's my favorite of the ones you did. I would clone out the trash can though but aside from that, it's about all I would change. The colors really work I think with this type of photograph. Nice job

O.O Only Chuck Noris is allowed to use nuclear as a flash! I know its deliberate but darn that is one powerful tonemapping highlight!

Chuck is a Bruce Lee wanna be that's a never will be. Whaaaa!

It is a great lens. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I look forward to seeing your photos!

And the remote actually came from outside. I found it while shooting the previous shots and decided to try it out because of how nasty it was :mrgreen:

Well my time with the lens has come to an end. I wish I would of been able to do more but just didnt have the time. I was able to make my way to gettysburg and get a few shots. The two sunset pictures were taking at gettysburg pa, home of some of the most deadly battles in the civil war. The other two I took with the extension tube on. The lens is all packed up and going to the next person tomorrow.

I barely even scratched the surface of gettysburg. Tons of other stuff for you to shoot. Sorry I took your idea lol.

I did geotag one of them. At least I thought so. Ill go look and make sure it worked. Thanks but I dont think this a competition. Nothing wrong with your pictures.
