It's not what we say, it is how we say it.

Except for being a little dark on this monitor at the library, these are excellent shots. Very sharp & focused. Wish I could do half as well. I'm glad you did post the camera make since I own & use a T2i sometimes. It gives me an idea of what I (MIGHT) be able to do with the right lens , at the right place, at the right time. Could you add some info such as the conditions at the time such as "cloudy, ptly. cloudy, sunny, etc. also the camera settings? I sure would be grateful for any info. Thanks for posting.

Hi ShaneT :-) I think JR! is right..sorry. You state not too bad for the first tries and they are very nice detailed shots, but without knowing what lens you are referring to it is difficult to give advice on how you may get the best from your lens etc... just my thoughts

why don't people say what gear they are using, new lens, good, what (nice shots)

You still don't get it. The lens was a telephoto and by the looks of the pictures a fairly strong one. The quality of the lens looks good. But the pictures look good because of the photographer not the equipment so much. We just had a big discussion on here two days ago about if money was not object. In the end the guy asking already had top end equipment and not great shots. So it's not the equipment as much as it is the person using it.

I say lighten up. I don't blame JR1 and others for asking about the lens, especially when the topic post says "... the new lens..." then doesn't specify what it is. It simply invites a discussion of the new toy.

If I post a topic saying "Got a new car!", I think it would be fine for people to ask "what did you get?", rather than saying "...it's the driver, not the car that matters."

Anyway, nice pics!

Looks like that new lens is treating you just fine. I just ordered a new one today (Tamron 17-50mm, 2.8, AF,VC) for my D7000. It's amazing how we're like kids waiting for presents---they just can't get here fast enough. I'm sure I'll see some more of your shots as you progress and hopefully I can reciprocate. Keep on shooting..............

I think they are all great pictures. Makes me wish I Hadn't stopped having b-days 10 years ago so I wouldn't get older. Have to think up another excuse for a new lens. Keep posting, they are fine.

Buying a car isn't the same thing. You drive a car but you create with a lens. I find to many people are hung up on the equipment instead of the techniques. I've seen photographers make great pictures with run of the mill equipment and photographer with all the latest and hung up on brand names just making snap shots. I guess the best way to say it is, try to develop your skill instead of your arsenal. Then when you do buy that new piece of equipment you can do great things right off the bat. ShaneT said herself, she's still learning to use the new lens. I just bought a large telephoto zoom myself. I've discovered that I'll have to learn to get the most out of it. But it is capable even if I'm not yet.

Beautiful, clear photos. I have that lens and absolutely love it. It's also great for closeups.

I totally agree with you, practice to improve your skills, don't buy equipment hoping it will do it for you. Yes, the car analogy isn't entirely accurate, but my point was that when someone's post topic is that they got something new, people will be inclined to ask what it is.
