Chilly, blustery day (42°) in Richmond, Virginia, USA (James River photos)
70mm, looking up river from the bridge.
Looking to the side of the river at 300mm, at the sandbank that I always wanted to paddle my kayak over to.
I quickly ran across the road to the other side of the bridge. This is now looking down river at the James River at 70mm.
I zoomed in on that one part of the river to see the storm debris and trees and logs washed up on little islands, at 300mm.
Here is the last photo, looking at the beautiful house along the river with the two Adirondack chairs in the lawn, taken at 70mm.
I guess it's true that you can go out in any weather with a DSLR and it will be perfectly fine. 300mm can be tricky with a "kit lens" but as long as you have a fast enough shutter speed and low ISO, it will take beautiful photos. I still want to look into getting a circular polarizing filter, but don't know if Hoya or Tiffen are any better than the other.
Keep it up!
