Great shot Nate! I like the the pose, composition, contrast and saturation, telephoto compresion (hmm, I wonder why!).

I was thinking the exact same thing! Really Nate??? Or are you going to disappoint and say you are borrowing or renting it?

Hi guys, thanks for the comments. I just did my part to stimulate the US economy. UPS delivered the lens on late Friday afternoon, I spent the entire Saturday (6:30am-7:00pm) at Bolsa Chica learning and practicing with it.

Congrats! You deserve it!

Congrats Nate!

Maybe now there is chance you are selling your 400 5.6? []

I want a new lens so bad now!

hey FG - really nice shots.


was wondering, how do you get your file sizes so small? 50K?


trying to upload a pic that's 196K and keep getting the "exceeds file size" error.


Your pix are so nice - and the .jpg quality looks awesome, but I see your file size is only 54K for that last one.


how do ya do that?

[canoli]

jeez, just tried a Save 4 Web at medium, got it down to 80K and I still got the error.


Is it me or is something buggy going on right now?
