That's the really good stuff! How about a full box of squirrels and two young raccoons for a full bottle?

Only if they bring one hundred bucks each with them

Compared to the 15-30. this old lens isn't as sharp, but it weighs only 1/3 as much and sharpens well in Lightroom.

I particularly like her little diamond body piercing. Look for it - you'll see it.

I am reliably informed that @Rupert had many of these chasing him, back in the day (Tamron 28-75 f2.8):

Great shots everyone! Loved the Cardinals (Rupert), fs999 just great again, Rondec, I think your portraiture is really hitting the mark at the moment, just brilliant. And Noel, that FA43 shot is just to die for. Finally dakight - both just beautiful.

Here's a few from me, using the 24-70mm. The daytime shots (Bibury in the Cotswolds, UK) were marred by crummy weather (very bright and ugly clouds!), so I had to fall back on underexposing / heavy processing. But at least I got something.....It is SO HARD to park at this location, which is always busy with tourists, that I was grateful to get anything!







Thanks for looking everyone!

The Cotswolds have a very special look and you've captured it. I went to secondary school in Cheltenham in the 1960s and did many long bike rides in the area on Sunday afternoons. Not much time off when you're at boarding school.

First time shooting with a redhead. Figured I should keep it in color.

You figured right It would be a crime to hide that glorious red hair in a B&W.

The Australian Superbike Championships came to Queensland on the weekend, took the K-1 and long tele out for a bit of practice.

I hope the new tripod worked Noel as those images have some wonderful tones.

It looks like it was a cracker of an afternoon down your way.

A beautiful reflection you've captured and the lens sharpens up fine indeed.

...and none ever caught me but once, when I gave up voluntarily. Got a Warning Ticket for 142 in a 55 down near the Mexican border. It was a '69 Roadrunner and it could fly! Almost identical to this one, same color, same engine too! Those were the days....so long ago!

There were a few, but I got caught by Mrs Rupert a little over 50 years ago. Her kindness to little animals was what did it...even stuffed animals...and you know how old Rupert loves little animals! Yes...it's true, she still reads me bedtime stories!


Clackers, thanks for the memories! With old guys like me it's about all we have left. Well....I do have Mrs Rupert and she is still as lovely as ever!

Best Regards!
