The World, but from BK
Birds in flight, plus I have a pass to the zoo and wild animal park out here in San Diego, so I could use the extra reach


Yeah that makes perfect sense. Would def be the frame for you. I'm like always on the move, so I didn't think I needed a lens where i'd have to stop set up shop then shoot. I just like to shoot and keep it moving. If you want the lighter version look into the f4 one. They say its sharper also.

I probably wont have the money for any of them for awhile, I think im going to invest in a flash system next. I want to get a 600ex-rt, but I'll probably wait until next year, or the year after.
The only other lens I have is the 40mm pancake, which is good for weight, and also candid shots, its only like $100 f2.8 too tiny lil dude

photography is amazing i used to sit back and laugh at folks who'd waste thousands on lenses or expensive cameras, just being a ignorant fool.

Photography has made me want to travel, its the main reason I went to cuba because I wanted to photograph, same with this past weekend I went to detroit for a family gathering ish.

Its kind of the opposite for me, I went to costa rica for a month to learn spanish, and when I got back most of my pics were trash (I had a water proof one which wasnt too good on the IQ), so many moments lost. About a month after that, same thing on a cruise to the Bahamas from Miami. Not anymore, I havent been anywhere since I got any of my DSLRs tho, hopefully next summer I can make it to Spain or Colombia.

:scusthov: @ all the noise in these pics. Look dusty like Camera phone pics. Time to stop being cheap and buy a real camera.
Maybe he is just shooting in auto mode, and the camera is boosting the iso because its night time. What camera you working with @craigsagersuit ?
