I am trying to learn my lens. And "see" the focal length. I do admit I am having some trouble with it. I seem to see things more in the 70 mm range. Anyway here are a few from a run into a local regional park.

I like all 3, I think you've got a good eye with the lens already! I wonder if the last one would benefit from a square cropping (cut the right side tree out)...actually looking at all 3 I think they would all lend themselves very well to a square crop. Then again, I've been into square crops lately, haha. Nice shots for sure.

Thanks for the comments. I've not tried a square crop. I think more dedicated time with the lens will help too. I like the idea of going the entire month with only that lens on my camera to force me. Oh well....we will see.

nicely done, I like #3, I think #1 is also very good but find the intensity of the sun a little distracting.

cheers
