Stopped off on the way to the wildlife refuge and found a great location for sunrise photos. Was excited to see the sky perfectly reflected in the lake's surface. Enjoy.

First Trip to the Canadian border.......definitely worth the drive from the Twin Cities. The Sigma 10-20mm f3.5 plays nice with the KP. (Even if a bit chunky)

Beautifully done!

Nice to have big skies.

Beautiful shot and colors Basie. What lens were you using?

Wonderful capture!

Thanks a lot

It was with my trusty 18-135WR at 100mm Should have cross posted in the 18-135 thread as well

First Trip to the Canadian border

Beautiful. Would like to go there some time, but it is a bit of a drive from where I am.

Closer to home, with the DA 55-300 PLM:

Great shot Greg - curious do you have particular focal lengths you like more than others on the 55-300?

I've used the 55-65 end of the PLM's range to take panos from lookouts on coastal trails a number of times. No quick examples available to, but it works very satisfactorily to the point I almost have quit using wide angle lenses on longer hikes as in that specific use 10-20mm (my wide angle lens) wastes too much on the sky and foreground for the effect I'm looking for anyway.

I usually stitch with Hugin.

Wait, I did find this one. I remember it's a well overlapped 2 row by 5 wide pano at 55mm. Sadly I cannot remember if it was the 16-85 or the 55-300 I had mounted but it was one or the other at that f.l.

At full res and printed, the resultant 26 Mb jpg is a very satisfying, quite detailed pano (those little white dots out by the head are boats that can be clearly seen at full res) of the arm where my marina is located.There are some tiny stitching errors on the ocean horizon, but they are hard to see. For scale, the ~250' head is about 4 km away, the hill on the right is Butterpot Mtn and is almost exactly 1000' at the top, the island on the right horizon about 25 km, and the land on the left horizon contains nearly 1000' hills about 50+ km away at their furthest extent.

Pano or not that is just a beautiful photo, jgnfld.

Thank you. It is taken above the town of Holyrood, NL at the foot of the Holy Rood itself overlooking the arm.

The main thing with it is it has to be printed large--or viewed on a very large monitor--to look best.

[Mikesul]

I can only imagine how beautiful it would be in a large format.

Yes, I tend to use the lens in the DA 55-300, and it seems to be at its very best in the 75mm to 135mm, where it really does have a pro level of sharpness and contrast.

Again, with the DA 55-300 PLM:

Slowly getting to the backcountry Iceland images from on the roads..... I want to go baaaaaaaackkkk.

Just a couple with REALLY adverse weather. 85 mph winds.

A few from Pitigliano, Grosseto province, Tuscany, shoot with the DA 16-85 (first three) and the SMC-M 28/3.5 (last three).
