This is a beautiful capture of Montauk Light. I don't think anything would be lost from straightening the lighthouse a tad.

Way, way back in April and May. Grape hyacinth (always the first to bloom), apple blossom (one windy day reduced these to a 'no apples for you this year, Cany' situation), Cliff Rose, my trusty Prickly Pear patch, and Fremont Mahonia (a.k.a., Barberry, a.k.a. Desert Holly). Distant memories of that pre-apocalyptic time in my yard, before the heat settled in with a vengeance.


Don't despair the heat, Grasshopper. This, too, shall pass. But cherish these beautiful memories.

Good captures, Diane. You captured more than just "images."

Beautiful, Joe. I think I hear organ music.

Perfect captures, Brent. Were these from your "Flip Series?" Thinking #10 guy is a plumber in his "day Job"

Did the English aristocracy invent the word "stately?" Beautiful place. Who wouldn't enjoy a visit there?

I think we are similar in our shooting, Barry. The 200mm range would be okay with the 28-200mm, but not so sure the lack of VR would be. Read the KR review and some of the controls would deserve a good bit of use for me to get used to, especially the reverse turn of the manual focus ring. But the size/weight is great. Ready to sell your 28-300?


I tend to be a bit of a hoarder, Diane. At the moment I have 25 FX lenses that I still (at least on occasion) use. Much duplication of Focal Lengths but, hey, I love photography, I'm retired, and other hobbies are not so expensive. Gearing-up for an Iceland trip this summer so I'll probably knock the dust off of the 28-300 for that.

I like it, Bill. What "rule" was that again?

Sure don't look like Downtown Philly. I like the way that your images capture the "flavor-of-the-place", Joe.

The beauty of the Cumbrian countryside really shows through in your images, Jim. Thanks so much for sharing.

There are a couple of questions about this particular lens that I would appreciate some feedback on from my fellow hoggers. (If you check my Flickr site, you'll see that I am into landscapes and nature.) ...
If I limit my bag to one camera body, an all-purpose lens, plus my feather light prime, I think I might make it a week and a half on the road and come home standing upright, lol. What do you think?


Convenience. That is the key word here, Diane. What is it worth to you.

I have this lens. I use it. I like the images I get. Of course, I don't shoot a lot of buildings with straight walls. I shoot trees and fields, lakes and clouds, plus the occasional wild animal. Anymore, I shoot "hand-held" because I am basically too lazy to use a 'pod most of the time. Unless you are a persnickety "Pixel Peeper", this lens does its job "quite well." All so called "Super Zooms" are not that easy to design and manufacture and IQ suffers over the range of the zoom (you know this ... nothing new here).

For me as a Landscape Guy, I find that I very rarely shoot beyond 200mm. Living on the East Coast, not many elk or buffalo here. So more often I use a Nikkor 28-200mm G ( https://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/28200g.htm ). Same caveats as with any Super Zoom but a whole lot smaller and lighter. Pre-owned versions are still around "for a song."

Good luck with your decision. If this has been of any help, I'm glad.

I was going to work and drove past a reclaimed orchard with a HUGE flock Canadian geese on the ground. Of course I grabbed my camera and stopped to take a few images. What I didn't expect to see was the entire flock took to the air all around me. Here are a few of the shots I managed to get in spite of my amazement.


Nice shots. I've always considered seeing a mass liftoff of geese one of life's simple pleasures. BTW, "Canada Geese" is the correct expression.
