I took this one on a higher crane in a construction site near my uni halls; it's the highest viewpoint in the area :)
First time using my ultra wide lens, taken at 12mm, f/7.1, 10 secs, and ISO 100.

Here is one of the dogs running and followed up by our cat. I should have brought more lens's with me or at least my 24-120 for a little better zoom.

I bought an external flash and my quality of life instantly increased tenfold (despite not knowing how to properly position it yet).
Also bought a lens. When my wife saw it, she said "Are you shitting me??" :D It's pretty huge.

The Tamron is crap. I looked at some reviews and comparison photos and it's just bad. I'm sure it's fine for lots of people but I want my money's worth.

But really, for $1150 this was a damn good purchase. I originally kept drooling over the Canon 100-400 II, but ultimately decided I really needed the longer one (and it's still not long enough for birds).

When you look how much say a 600mm prime from Canon cost, it's pretty damn cheap :p But then again, Canon prime L lenses are completely different league.

I didn't think you would be shooting portraits with it :rolleyes:

Just never heard of a 600mm that wasn't a zoom. I have trouble keeping a bird in the frame with a 300. I guess so though. Crazy expensive

That lens is 150mm-600mm, so isn't it a zoom?
