Couple of my car the other day.

Nice! How wide is that lens?? Reminds me of my Sigma 10-20, at 10mm. Miss ultra-wide.


Sorry for all the cat pictures. I haven't been feeling that well lately, so I haven't gotten out much.




Ok, I'll give it a rest. Lol.

thanks man!

tokina 11-16, I love that lens.

nice pics too!

On another note went a bit more zoom on a few of these.

Ugh, your car is too damn sexy, Steve.

[97 Ex/SiR]

Yup, it's pretty sick.

I dig it too!

Here's a question for you all... I'm looking to buy another lens for better portrait style work. I'm fairly confident I want a zoom lens with about a f2.8 capability. I can't get the bokeh from the lens assortment that I have. Currently I use the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 but I constantly have to reposition and loose the shot. The other lens is a sigma 18-200 f3.5-6.3. It's an Ok walk around all in one lens. It does fine for landscapes but I typically want a blurred background which at wide open it still can't produce well. I shoot with the 70D and have been eyeing up the tamron or sigma 70-200 f2.8. Thoughts? Experience? Recomm3nations?

That Tamron should be fine honestly. Try putting more space between your subject and its background. If you really want to increase bokeh go for a f/1.8 or f/1.4 lens. Keep in mind though, that at those apertures your depth of field is very shallow and parts of your subject may be out of focus.

Shouldn't have a problem with a telephoto, but I don't have much experience. I only have two lenses currently - 35mm F2 IS and the 50mm 1.8. My siblings are getting me the 85mm 1.8 for Xmas, so I'll be using that when I become an uncle in '17. For about $300 you could get the 50mm 1.4 or 85mm 1.8 (assuming Canon shooter), I've seen great results with both. The crop factor might make me lean for the 50.

This young lady on Flickr has both of those lenses for her 5d, and I lover her work. https://www.flickr.com/photos/vasher/with/30663732736/
