Summer 2010

So, after a 3 week hiatus due to being in Spain, took some photos at Sutro Heights here in SF. A gorgeous day, with semi-harsh lighting, but I think I made do well enough. Ill probably return tomorrow for a couple other things, but for now I am still jet lagged so my body clock stopped around 5pm.

Minor update, 1 more photo up :). I think I need to get back to cityscapes, scenes of downtown and whatnot.

Davis Walking Take 2

So, after many frustrations with the 55-200mm lens yesterday, I took another crack at shooting with it. Manual Focus seems to be the only way to get fast response from this lens, so I spent most of the day practicing manual focus. Here are the pics!

Walking Around

Decided to get out of the house after being cooped up all day studying. Found a gem of an old Chevy Truck and did some macro stuff for the hell of it. Came to the conclusion that my 55-200 F4-5.6 lens is awfuly slow focusing, unwieldy, and quite terrible in low light. Also reached the limits of my camera's light capabilities, with very bad grain at IS0800. Next up, SB600 flash, manfrotto tripod, Tokina 11-16mm wideangle!

Now, on to the pics!
