Its also prime time to test and assess the characteristics of a new lens.

This 'summer monsoon' of which I speak is some bizarre phrase a weirded-out weatherman probably came up with to describe a weather condition that is nothing like an actual monsoon, but it sounded kinda nifty to some, so it stuck. Micro-bursts happen in Death Valley, too. Once every fifty years or so. Surely you've seen the like (archival video on tv, or maybe in a history book).

Great shots, Jim. But something drained all of the color out of the last one.

The images appear to have been sharpened quite a bit. Is that the case?
