Tag: Tamron 70-300 SP f4-5.6 Di

Revisited: 12/21/2011

I cannot believe I have digital images going back to 2007 – but I do! I will be looking at them a bit more and pulling out ones I rather like. The reasons for choosing this one or that will be variable as the day.

Today’s choice is one that I took in December 2011 at the local botanical garden. I wonder if it’s in bloom right now! I haven’t been up there for a bit because of the rainy weather and the holidays. I should go take a look pretty soon!

BTW, I think this is a protea, but I may be wrong. I used my now-lost Nikon D7000 and Tamron 70-300mm lens.

I’ve been busy writing lately and haven’t had much time to look at the world around me.  When I do look, I look at plants and the sky – the natural world.  Suburbs don’t have much to offer in the sense of drama and awe – it is the little things that must suffice.  And suffice they do, whether in the local botanical gardens or the vistas of the open spaces.  This is another image from my trip a week or so ago to the local garden, using the Nikon Df an the Tamron 70-300mm.  Early morning light and shadows made for some beautiful photos.

Please Be Seated

This is a doozy of a pano – about 40 – taken with the Df and the 70-300 Tamron.  I used MS’s Image Composition Editor.  It does a really good job, much faster the Photoshop.  Click on the image a couple of times to see the detail and size of this picture – and I reduced it substantially from the original pano!

This particular bench is a favorite of mine, both to photograph and to plop down upon to survey the world around me.
