Celebrating my new 70-200 VR. Yea!!!

I have been renting it for a while to shoot sports and decided it was time to bring one home for keeps.

I had an hour of sunlight after the UPS man dropped it off, so I ran out and made these:










And a few more here: http://trishtunney.smugmug.com/gallery/1076700/1/50007694

I am so excited! It not even as heavy as I remember.

Next time out, I'm going to bring a tripod, though.

cheers!

Nice Trish, reminds me of my apartment building.

I've had my 70-200 for a while now and I'm still impressed with what it can do. Has to be one of the best lenses ever.

For mine, I bought a Really Right Stuff quick release foot that replaces the Nikon one. Makes using a tripod really easy.

Trish, I love your urban-eye

Well done, congrats on some fine new glass!

Congrats on the new glass. Good range and some nice crisp shots too.

Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!

And thanks for the tip, David.

I wasn't sure what I was going to do to get this lens on my tripod. For now, I was attaching my camera plate to the bottom of the lens. Kind of janky, but in a pinch...

I like the idea of a replacement foot better than attaching another plate to the bottom.

Looks like Kirk makes a replacement foot too.

cheers!

Thanks Rob!

Here are a couple more building shots where I was fooling with exposure settings.

The location was a cool spot I found by chance while looking for a place where the sun wasn't obscured by buildings in its last hour. I'll definitely be heading back for a proper shoot.

cheers!
