Joshua - I am enjoying your images from Holland, especially those from the Sigma 16-28. You're definitely influencing my wide zoom acquisition thinking! Steve
Thank you very much, Steve! As I mentioned to you via PM, that lens is quite impressive and does what I expected.

Have fun in Europe, Joshua!
A few shots of of propeller planes at Langley airshow on Saturday. IMHO propeller planes are the most challenging to shoot if propeller motion is the goal, tough to get sharp pictures at these shutter speed. I got maybe 2% in enough focus that can be salvaged in post.
Thank you very much, Doug! I am in Morocco right now… I truly enjoy your airshow images; they are awesome…

I ran across from my film days a 52mm Nikon #2 Soft Filter. A miserable thick fog rolled in (we live at the NJ beach) and I decided to photograph the beach in the fog with the soft filter. In this shot the fog is just starting to lift with a hint of blue in the sky. Almost all of my modern lenses have much bigger filter threads than 52mm so I chose the diminutive Sony Zeiss 35mm f2.8 filter with 49-52mm step up ring. Exposure was 1/50 at f8 +1/2 EV, ISO 400. Rain and gull added pp. Image finished in Topaz.
Thank you very much, Bobek, for the suggestion! I did a quick research and have made a decision to go and spend a couple hours in old town area in Guimaraes. I am fascinated by the old streets in Europe, more so than by castles..
