Here are some photographs, taken using my new 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 VR II lens. Taken at first light on a freezing cold morning, I am really pleased with them.

John, those are very nice shots. I especially like the last in the series. Your composition is superb. The 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 VRII is a great lens, especially between f5.6 and f8 where is gives excellent sharpness wall-to-wall. I also find the "macro" capability very useful and even though I have an AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm ƒ/3.5-5.6G ED VR and a couple of primes I always carry an 18-55 VRII in my bag.

A very good set, John - I like particularly #2 and #5.

The crane driver must be one of those at the highest level in his profession, but who would want his daily walk to work?!

Cheers.

Terrific shots well composed. Thanks for sharing.
