A.J. Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Wow, geez, I missed this. I'm so sorry! I ended up grabbing the newer Nikon AF-P 70-300mm (lightly pre-owned). In the past 3-4 weeks I have found the over-200 range useful a few times and the autofocus is lightning-fast on that thing. Unfortunately manual focus is tougher for me because I physically can't see the fine changes in focus through the viewfinder. Shake is tough way out at that range though. After a big trip in a few months (where I need to travel light), my next investment will be a tripod. Most of the time though, I've been using the 18-55 kit lens as a daily driver. Image above was with the 70-300 at 98. Nowhere near the end of the range but that quality has been consistent for pretty much 95% of the range, so I'm satisfied as a hobbyist.

B&MIntaminGCI Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Recently bought the Canon 80D because it was on sale, also picked up an iPad Pro w/ Apple Pencil for editing in Lightroom. Here's some shots I've taken, mainly from Carowinds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 This was one of several I took of that well-known DCA restaurant's tower, being slowly devoured, by all those "Halloween inspired" lights. Sept.10, 2019. After "World of Color" was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Here's the first view we saw of the Millennium Falcon, when we toured through Black Spire Outpost, on our first day in Disneyland a couple of weeks ago. Really breathtaking to see it, truth! We later rode Smuggler's Run (twice) and just enjoyed the whole atmosphere of the place. And Oga's Cantina? Well.... yeah! Sept.09/19.

Nrthwnd Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 ^ Nice looking beers, there! Here's a shot of the big fire pit, just outside Knott's Berry Farm (and beside Ghostrider's lift hill) & Marketplace. Sept.08/19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invertalon Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Some pics uploaded from our trip to Germany this summer... The first sets I have completed are just Cologne and Phantasialand.

Nrthwnd Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I just stepped outside, a few minutes ago, and took these shots looking towards downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I posted this one in the Cirque du Soleil thread. But I like how somehow, I got the focus right, on the tent, instead of (usually with this camera) the foreground trees, etc. Good on me! By the way, that large imposing stadium behind the Cirque tent, stands in for S.T.A.R. Labs in the tv series The Flash. As does the rest of the city, especially it's non-descript alleyways. Also for the soon-to-be-ending ARROW, too. Their production of LUZIA is here in Vancouver, until mid-December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I didn't get the actual sunset here, but a cloud caught some of it's colour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Took a photo of our light "display" on the front porch, a few evenings ago. A mish-mash of lights, but surrounded by all the darkness, it looks like a cool little Holiday Oasis to stop at and enjoy. IMhO. HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYBODY at TPR!

Nrthwnd Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I just took this shot, and was surprised how detailed I got the focus on the moon, there! I didn't downsize the photo, so you can zoom in and see how detailed that moon is, lol! Taken at 3:50pm, Feb.03/20. Using my Canon PowerShot camera.

DoinItForTheFame Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 One of my favorite photos I took of Taron during our recent trip to Phantasialand. Such a beautiful park. I really need to get around to doing a full TR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 ^ Almost. It was for a roast chicken. Actually it was for a "slow cooked" chicken in the slow cooker. Turned out really good. The Jelly Belly jar and the bowl of mini mandarin oranges, were not part of this recipe, LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 And now, fast forward to ..... 2022! A few shots I took, from our hotel room back at the beginning of April, during our annual "StayCation". I did this after several cocktails, so pardon the fuzziness of the first one. Yeah. Fuzziness. The long row of white lights there, is where our home bar is. The PumpJack. What we saw, beyond the balcony. Funny, didn't take any daytime shots. Having more fun, than taking pix. Same night. Shot #2. Great shot ..... of the balcony itself. <sighs> Well, I tried.
