Notes from First Practice

[MJZiggy]

Thanks Michelle, you know I love your photographic eye. Few others around here have a true appreciation for it...

anytime, Zig. I probably have more that you would appreciate, as well.

I tell ya though, as it got darker and you are shooting under those lights, I have a deeper appreciation for pro photographers who can walk away from that with some really good pics. I deleted most of mine...including a Jennings/Driver hip bump that would have been an awesome pic otherwise.

I rented two lenses lately...my budget calls for buying one of them (they are about the same price) and I am torn over which one to buy. Both are Canon's "L" series glass. The 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 , which is excellent in daytime conditions. And also the 70-200mm F2.8 IS. I love the reach on the 400mm, but when I looked at overall, pics from both, I"d have to say I've taken better pics with the 200 F2.8.

Earth to PIP....

What was wrong with the image results? There's a lot you can do with a good composition and bad light. Do send the fun ones, you know how I love them...! Oh and just so you know, when you're down in NC, I'm going to look for an excuse to visit our Raleigh office so we're going out. I'm also coming in early spring when it's warmer there than here. PIP, you coming?
