Light Snowfall

Light Snow Fall

I don’t like the cold. I don’t like to be out in it. It amazes me those who can work in it. I watch those rampers at the airport in all sorts of weather conditions and feel they do not make enough money. Anyway, it’s snowing again still and cold. It seems I don’t function well when it’s cold, mentally and physically. Enough complaining.

I bought a new lens, the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8. I’ve been looking at it for some time now. The small size and weight along with some good reviews are what attracted me to it. I took it out today, in the cold and snow, to Blendon Woods park just to get a feel of it and see how it performed. Man it was cold so back to the apartment and warm up with a latte. I’ll keep ya posted.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Monte, that’s a nice focal range with your D300 giving a 35mm equivalent of about 25-75mm. My Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 has become a favorite lens for me and was the one I used the most on my recent Calendar Project. Hey, enjoy that Christmas present to yourself! 🙂

      I would love to have the 24-70mm but I cannot afford it. I was pretty excited when Nikon annonced the new 24-120mm f4.0 but have not heard good reports and it’s BIG. I think this Tamron will fit my style of shooting better. What did you buy yourself for Christmas?
