The giraffe looks so great.

Thanks! Couldn't figure how best to frame it.


Lens packed up and ready to drop off tomorrow AM. I included a rubber 62mm screw on hood to go along with it--hopefully it'll help out others down the road. (I forgot I had it before my outing, could only find my spare 55mm one at the time).

Check your inbox Sparky.


Is the ability to GPS tag written in stone? 'Cause after checking I cannot w/o spending $$ I do not have at the moment. I have a GPS that I could manually record locations with if that works.

You only need a GPS for your camera if you want to automate the process. Panoramio can read the GPS in the EXIF data if it's there, but you can pin the images manually on a Google Map during upload.

I did all mine by hand in the approximate location each was taken.

I "applied" to the group. Sorry it took so long!

Got the lens literally as I was getting in the car to go for a hike, so I took it along. I've been shooting with my 12-24 almost exclusively recently so this is a bit different. I always forget how hard it is to visualize a shot when using a different length lens.

Just sent Derrel a PM to get his address.

Lens is on its way to Derrel.

Due to some really crappy weather and family medical issues last week, I only got a couple days to go out and shoot with it.

 

[MOREGONE]

Loving this. Sent my info to Sparky.

I rec'd the lens Wednesday afternoon and took it out and shot it for about an hour while we enjoyed the first sunny day in maybe 10 days! It's been pretty rainy here. I shot from 6:15 to 7:15 PM. Just went to a park with my son and one of his school friends. I PM'd oldhippy about whether he's still wanting the lens a short while ago; have not yet heard back from him.

On my first few shots, I did a quick hand-held shot at the wider end to check for obvious distortion; surprisingly MUCH less than I had expected!


Pine tree shadows on a roughly-textured wall.


Library facade with passing jet far above, headed north,probably to Seattle,Vancouver, or Anchorage.


Blue sky! Whoa--have NOT had that for a while here!


So, there's only One Way, eh?

Great shots derrel. I was actually fairly impressed with the lens.
