Windows live skydrive, which is part of office live has a public folder, so I've been uploading the pics there and just linking them. Has 25gigs of space.

And you are correct that it is all linked through my hotmail account.

Wel here's one i took wit my D5000 and 24-70mm nikor lens. I haven't taken to many pics at night or of the moon, so excuse the quality..
Used a preset setting for night pics. Oh yeah, the snow has arrived

i am actually very impressed with it. chromatic aberation is nonexistant on this lens which is shocking really. i expected some, especially on the moon shots but there is none... zero

i will take some more shots in the coming days/nights with the lens to show off more than just how well it takes moon shots but i just havent had time lately.
i just dont think i could spend $600 plus for it given the 70-200 F/4L is only about $50 more... i think i would Def. take the L. but the 70-300 image stabilizer is nice. and it def. works very well.

Such a waste on my part, I could've gotten that lens, instead I've chosen the 75-300 III USM, w/o knowing their big difference!
Much worse, I had the money that time. Now I'm left w/ a lens that has a very soft IQ at 300mm.

@Lestat: dude, you make me wanna get that lens right now lol So nice man

if you know someone who has it ask to borrow it.. its a lot nicer than i expected.... i thin its a pretty fast lense too given its 70-300 ...
IS is noisy but not THAT bad, i had heard louder.

but really... for just about the same price the 70-200 F/4 L non IS is available.

and which would you rather have... better IQ or more focal length and IS ...

some might find that tough, i dont. and i rarely would use the full 300mm but i can see where ti would come in handy.


here is tonights moon using my old Sigma 100-300mm F/4.5-6.3 DL
i actually dont know how old it is, i have had it for a couple of years.
pretty soft but can be usable at times. think i paid maybe $75 on eGay.
i have never really sat down and tested just how soft it is at F/8 and up but i cant imagine its very sharp past F/8
it shows its softness quite well on my T2i lol.

and for anyone wanting something really neat.... here is latnights moon dont the way I like it....

return it.... tell them its crap and you want something else. get store credit until you can afford the one you want.

Geez I haven't picked up my camera in ages, good thing I went to a local Photography expo in the last week to remind me why I got into this hobby in the first place!

Bought a Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM and itching to play around with it! Can't get out of the house till the weekend though. In the mean time however...



... I should really fix that leak in my irrigation system.
