Random Thoughts... [Photographic Edition]

[Dr_Q]

nomix, I can see why you process your photos the way you do, it gives them a nice gritty feel. But the vignetting has gone past being just a vignette with these, it's almost like you shot these with a pinhole or a holga! (with the exception of 7).

So you should do it one less time than you think people would like?

Anyone know a good zoom telephoto lens for no more than $350 (I might consider a used one) that can do all of this:

VR
At least 200mm maximum zoom
Compatible with my D3000 (Including AF)

It would be nice, but not needed, if it could also have a macro mode. I personally can't find anything within my price range with all that stuff except the Nikon 55-200 VR (Wish it had macro mode though). I've found plenty of good, cheap lenses which have everything I want but VR, but a telephoto lens without VR sounds suicidal. Maybe I should sacrifice a feature, or save up for something better (Or should I just go for the 55-200 VR)?

No, it's the best part of it.

Wasn't my first selection of the samples I sent, but it's the one they went with



It was for a piece on winter carnivals in the area.

See, that's why I got myself a D90 so I can use stuff like my lovely old 400mm f/5.6 sigma (cheap an cheerful)

Well, I didn't have the budget for a D90.

Just testing, don't mind me.

Why do you do it? No seriously, why?

I feel like I've been struggling so much lately and, perhaps, it's because I have no actual goals. "For fun" just doesn't seem to be a good enough reason or motivator for me any more.
