This is similar to the B&W shot I just posted, but here I tried to get more background in the shot bokeh.

I really like the last three shots on this page. And Bryan...very jealous. Manual Antonio is a great place, especially considering the Artic blast we are about to have.

With clear skies the last few nights, I kept telling myself I should get a moon shot. I probably waited a couple days too late. I think the lighting would have shown more detail a day or two ago, but:

Brant and Mark, I like your moon shots. Something about not a completely full moon makes it that much cooler. Brant, what do you think of your Sigma? Going to keep it?

Great shots on the last page. I haven't viewed this thread in a while and am very impressed with what everyone is adding.

It has warmed slightly but still to cold to take the little guy with me for a photo outing. I stayed in an tried something I have been wanting to for some time. Oil in water.

Thanks guys. It really was easy. I just placed an 11x17 casserole dish on an apple box I had for posing. Put some construction paper in the bottom of the box and put a couple drops of olive oil in the water. I used the light from the patio door and snapped away with a macro lens. Gave it a little pop in LR and there you go. Took 5 minutes to set up and maybe another 5 to photograph. Was a fun little project with the kiddo.

Brant, those photos look pretty crisp for 600mm. Your right, the boken does look pretty good. I was wondering how that would look at f/6.3 and it seems pretty good. I have been toying with trying the Tamron version and if it was as good as some say, putting my 300mm f/4 IS up for sale. I am always wanting more reach when I use it since it is hard to get close to anything with a 3 year old tagging along. Good to hear the good reviews so far. Can't wait to see what you have from the Florida trip.

That is a really cool and unique shot. Thanks for taking the time. I hope you do not mind if I give it a try.
