Hello there,
I'm new to this forum and also a recent owner of this lense.
I'll go a bit off topic with my post, but i'd like to hear some advice from you.

I'd like to enjoy my new lense as much as you do, but i'm in a sort of photography crisis.
I have no inspiration, no ideas at the moment. I must say that the weather and the night falling really early doesn't help.

But i'm posting this in case you have some tips to help me get out this unproductive period.

Thanks in advance.

Snow scenes are very interesting to shoot. You might also go to a local botanical gardens that has an orchid greenhouse and or butterflies. I'm attached a shot I made in the orchid house in Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. I shot this with the DA55-300 spot metered on my K30. I'm about to frame it and hang it on my wall of favorites. Good shooting, to you. Freddy

Love the versatility of this lens. Not often rated as a portrait lens, but hey ...

Couple with the 35mm. Look closely at that building.

In the night shot there appears to be a couple sitting on the roof)

Never noticed that. Would have been so nice, but I zoomed in and it appears to be most likely some trees, they don't look like human silhouettes.
