Dragonfly,
You sure know how to make an entrance into the DA limited club! Beautiful shot... where was it taken?

Thanks for the compliment. The photo is from a hazy N.Cal afternoon. The lighting was unique and I wanted to see how well the 40 does shooting into the sun. I like the starburst lens flare.

I had to take several different exposures to get a good image and I'm not sure whether I ever really focused on the tree in the center.

I finally got a Limited. Here is my first entry. More will follow.

Oh gorgeous! Perfect perfect focus - the kitty eyes just leap right out and grab you

Nice shots Marc

I really like the first one.... do you know what instrument he is playing?

Thanks! It's an English Horn - an overgrown oboe (which he also also plays, along with bass clarinet and various saxophones). The musician is Paul McCandless.

Nice set of three limiteds there! Love those concert shots of yours.... great colors..

Marc Sabatella · 03-30-2010, 03:16 PM

Thanks!

My DA70 hardly ever gets used in daylight, so I rarely get to see it stopped down at low ISO or at low ISO. Every time I do, though, I'm kind of taken back again by how good it is. Here's Pedro in the late afternoon sun:

Nice Marc. Adorable photo and excellent lighting.

I was saying in another thread how I am undecided on this lens. But I think it is only because I have grown accustomed to the closer focusing distances of my other lenses. I think learning the DA 70 will be a nice little project.

Tempting pic...! I don't own any pets, but always liked those hairy cat shots!

The DA 40 has been my most used lens so far. Very compact, contrasty, and crop friendly...

I'm looking at a wider lens for a buy at the immediate future.
