Forget the blog problems. I got a new lense or should I say two new lenses. Yippe skippy and all that!!
I stopped by the Mckinley Park and took a few quick shots without a tripod. Wow, what a difference the VR (vibration reduction) makes. My old shaky hands did not manage to ruin the shot! I admit that with a tripod the captures would have crisper but just yippe skippy woo hoo and all that.
I was walking and turned and just snapped this shot – not bad for a walk by?
Then on this one I can see the water drops – not bad for no tripod in my hands LOL. The colors on this bird are beautiful.
So I am off the play with the lenses some more.
Hmm, I magnified the picture of the squirrel. I’m not positive but I think I see a reflection of the photographer in the left eye! Not bad. I still can’t get over the clarity of some of these pictures.
Hi Craig!
I really am happy with the lens. My hands are not the steadiest and the focus is pretty good for hand held. I have been using borrowed lenses so it is nice to finally own my own! I can not wait to get some tripod shots in.
I really am having fun learning this photography stuff.
