TPF Across America - The Journey of One Lens Across the USA - Round 2

[Derrel]

I got a PM from Stoogley this AM. He told me he's ready to send the lens out to me, so I ought to have it in early April.

That sounds awesome cant wait to see his photos..

 

[Stoogley]

Hey guys
Sorry for the delay....overtime work and torrential rain slowed me down a bit.

As Derrel says I'll be shipping the lens to him on Monday
and I'll be posting my pics tomorrow or Monday.

Not to worry, I was never going to elope with the lens

The lens is enroute to Derrel.

I've uploaded my pics to the Flickr site.
Some of the exposure is off in the pics; I had a card failing and didn't realize it until too late. It kept over exposing. Weird.

Your card wasn't failing... you just left the memory-card door open and let too much ambient light in, fogging the images.

LOL

I reckon so....

Nice pics! Given the circumstances =)

 

[Markw]

Great! Thanks for that! Don't forget to add the photos to the flickr map and tag some as accurately as you can.

^^Sorry, didn't mean to yell. That note's for everyone. Didn't want anyone to miss it.

It's almost difficult to believe it was in August of 2010 that I boxed up my old 35-70mm f/3.3~4.5 Nikkor and sent it to Markw to start this thread...and then this April, some 20 months later, I received an almost identical lens in the mail! I've been sick lately with a bad sinus cold, and feeling kind of under the weather. I shot a few shots tonight using the old beast, and a Nikon SB-800 flash off-camera and connected with an SC-29 remote cord, and a 12mm extension tube on a couple shots, and on two shots, I used a BR-2 lens reversing ring, shooting "backwards" through the lens to get higher magnification than the extension tube would allow me to get. My concept tonight was to shoot close-up images which would have simple graphical elements, accented by strong colors.
