These colorful dresses were displayed outside of a quaint little village shop.

    Howdy Tom,

    Dang, is that from the same Tokina Lens? That thing really renders beautiful colors and very sharp and crisp details.

    I love the brightness of the image, very nicely done.
    Take care,

    Hey Craig,

    Yea, this shot was made with the trusty Tokina. Every now and then, a piece of equipment comes along that just won't fail your expectations. I've got a room full of Nikon lenses....some great, others less so....but this one lens just performs flawlessly all the time. I think many of these " third party " lens manufacturers have made...and continue to make....great strides in bringing really good stuff to the market.

    Take care,

    Tom

    Tom, this shot made me take my camera downtown, since I was going that way, yesterday and hunt up a shop with cloths displayed outside a shop.
    Missed the open street market so no luck finding anything. There will be a
    next time to try for similar something to expand my similar somethings. :D

    Hey Michael,

    There's no greater accolade than to know you made someone grab a camera and go looking for something to shoot. I'm on cloud nine.

    Take care,

    Tom

    Hi Jack,

    You're too kind. I try and shoot things other than cars, planes and old buildings. Sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't.

    Take care of yourself, my friend.

    :D Nice. Did go and get some other shots since I couldn't find detail color
    shots. Tried my hand at HDR instead since I have been wanting to give
    that a go. Posted the primary results in Landscapes for feedback. Would be
    nice to have your thoughts for those. Michael

    Hi Mary Kim.

    Tokina, like some other lens manufacturers....notably Tamron, Sigma, and a couple others....is producing some first-rate stuff for the market. This particular shot was made with the Tokina ATX-Pro 20-35 mm F-2.8 constant. This lens is one of the best I've ever seen at accurate color rendition and is absolutely one of the sharpest I've personally used. As a dyed-in-the-wool Nikon man, I have quite a few of their lenses....good stuff, for sure....but this particular Tokina is quite exceptional.

    Thanks for looking in,

    Tom
