Where one ends, another begins…

I got a new lens for my camera today. I can ZOOM! It’s awesome!

This first picture, I am standing on my back porch. Using my old lens, and it’s zoomed as far as it can go. DSC_0043

In this one, I am standing on my back porch with my zoom fully extended (sorry, I don’t know the correct terminology, I’m new at this!). The old lens, fully zoomed is also where the new lens starts with no zoom.

Here is the old lens again, fully zoomed.

And the new lens (notice the flag).

This picture would have been impossible with my old lens. I just wouldn’t have been able to get close enough to these birds.  I certainly didn’t know how beautiful they were until I saw the picture.DSC_0053

I can’t wait until tomorrow. I have a feeling I’ve been missing a lot!

  1. Way cool! I've often looked at new lenses almost as new sets of eyes. They give us entirely new ways of looking at things, new ways of experiencing the world around us.

    Can't wait to see what you come back with! From these "first light" shots, we're in for a treat!
