Paul, > Enjoyed the Costa Rica pics. Looks like a > nice vacation spot. Expensive?
Usually, yes (at least I think so). But we got both airline tickets (usually $800 each) through a combination of frequent flyer miles and airline vouchers. And the resort was thru the parents' time share exchange, which kept the cost down... but we still had to pay the all-inclusive fee ($75 pp, per day). > Some truly excellent shots in the Shenandoah gallery. > Looks like that iS is working for you. Absolutely (about the IS). I was telling someone else that those are the best handheld macro shots I've ever taken (and thats saying a lot since my macro lens is the oldest of my lens collection). I absolutely stink at handholding, and so I gave up on macro bug shots years ago... but this will open up a whole new realm for me, so I'm excited. > What was the longest lens used here? IIRC, all of the posted deer shots were taken with the Sigma 70-200mm f2.8 handheld. All the bug shots are with the Sigma 100mm macro. Pretty much everything else is the DA 12-24mm.
