Ron - without a doubt the longer throw helps with the 75 Lux. It is absolutely perfect. Not too long, not too short. I see your kit has grown very nicely . Love the 28 Cron shots, awesome lens. My favorite are the first two. I am a sucker for cemetary shots...we have a beautiful one here in town as well that has statues and such that look very similar to yours.
Edwin - great capture of your daughter!
Kelly - really like the look of the beach shot
75 Lux again.....I stopped down all the way to f/2 for these shots
