Excellent shot Mike!.

 

Yeah, really nice shot, Mike.

Monte, and by color you mean "colour"

 

Nice! I've been thinking about selling off both of my lens to fund for that lens. Let me know how it works out for you.

 

So far I love it. The optical quality is top notch as well as the images in produces. It's totally worth the money for the second gen because it stays sharp around the corners and edges at 24mm and wide open which is SICK. I plan on getting a 70-200 and a few of the L primes later on and I figure it's all I would need for anything. Maybe a 16-35L to cover 16-200mm for the full range.

 

FTFY

If you do get the 16-35 and don't need the extra stop of speed, I would recommend the f/4 version as it's better than the f/2.8 II in the corners, and cheaper too while still keeping the weather sealing.

 

Oh 11-24 is new lol hmmmmmmm

 

Went to downtown Fort Worth tonight with the family. Got a lot of amazing photos and some great shots of my boy. Moving water is so much fun to shoot. Played with exposure and shutter speeds to get this shot.

Ben, I almost set up to take a picture like for this weeks challenge. Nicely done.

 

Spring has not yet sprung in Stanley. Can't wait for stuff to start happening up there.

Thanks Ben, today my first time out there. Those mountains are pretty impressive.

 

My entry, white, because we got several inches of snow in New York yesterday. I was very angry but whatevs. This is a "reverse lens macro" done by reversing a 50mm f/1.8. I was trying to get the actual flake shapes but i was at work yesterday and today was warm so everything started melting. Still thought this was cool nonetheless.

 

Spring time in big wonderful Wyo

Wonderful. You bastages are not making this easy....

Been at both Mayo Clinic Foundation hospitals all week with my son, first chance I have had to check in. One hell of a week for him. Chemo is kicking his ass with blood infection, stroke (effected his vision in left eye those left to right crossers shotgunning are going to a bitch for him here on out), skin infections, lung embolisms, and now waiting on cardio surgeons to go in and clean the heart valve that has the bacterial growth that is causing cascading casualties. Which is a very high risk procedure at this point but no other choice. I will check back in the morning once I get to his room in Cardio CCU. Almost hope that no one else posts any more of these great pictures. On the other hand keep them coming! And thank you all for putting a smile on my face. It reminds me of why I keep coming back here, thank you and well done to all. Bravo Zulu.

 

Blue is my favorite color, Tex I really like how yours turned out. TJ your mountains made me want to just keep going West this morning when I got in the truck. Can't wait until the flowers come out here now. And all the rest are well done too.

But I have to pick just one so.... Every since I saw the full page picture in Understanding Exposure by Peterson of extended exposure tail lights and headlights on a busy super highway in Europe I've wanted to try it. But figured I needed to drive someplace to a large city to pull it off. Ben you showed thinking outside that box and it turned out well with highlights of a setting\rising sun and outlined fir trees plus a mountain slope. Overall very visual appealing to me it hits a lot of my buttons. It has already given me some ideas to try.

I choose Ben as the winner, very well done.

 

Congrats ben!

 

Congrats Ben. Waiting for the next challenge.
