The Lens on My Camera.
#1

This was shot down my suburban avenue about 10 miles from downtown. The shot was handheld using the 380 mm equiv. I am shivering with joy.

Nikon D3100 with Tokina 28-70mm f3.5, (I like to use a Vivitar .43x aux on the 28-70mm Tokina), Nikkor 10.5 mm fisheye, Quanteray 70-300mm f4.5, ProOptic 500 mm f6.3 mirror lens. http://donschaefferphoto.blogspot.com/

Yeah Don, this one seems to work really well! Smile

Lovely compression from the telephoto, and the haze on the far buildings helps create layers of detail. The light and the fact that all the traffic is heading away from the camera all give a "life goes on" type of feel which is really nice.

I also like the composition of this one but I can't quite figure out why.
I've taken a couple of similar shots of streets in my hometown of Hobart and also liked them, but I just assumed it was because it was where I grew up and so had so many memories of those streets.. but I get drawn into this shot the same way.. so maybe that isn't the reason at all.
Either way, it certainly works for me. Smile

Edit: I just realised you posted this to showcase the lens rather than the image! haha.. I still really like the image, but the lens seems great too. Nice and sharp, and in that fading light you did well to keep it that sharp hand-held.

Cheers
