This time to the north coast (CA) and spent yesterday in and around Crescent City. Late afternoon on a windy extremely chilly day I took another shot at Battery Light. The DA 55~300 is a very light non-internal focusing lens. When racked out to 300mm you can't breath near it when shooting. A peek through the viewfinder showed it to be vibrating continually, but took 11 shots (cable switch/2 sec delay) hoping for a moment's quiet. The link is to the only shot that appears to have been nearly vibration free. I was stubborn enough to not want to go larger than f/6.7 (wanted some foreground rock detail) nor higher than 200 ISO. This taken just as the sun was sinking into the Pacific through a thin blushing persimmon tinted atmosphere.
All comments welcome.

Love the light. It also really "highlights" it.
