Merry Christmas

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!!!!!!

New Lens

So last night I decided to get a new 300mm lens. I had to choose between the Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6G AF Nikkor Lens and the Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens. This is for my Nikon D800 which is a full frame camera. The lens I had been using up to this point was the Nikon 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Len which I bought with my Nikon D5200. The price of the Tamron was a little more ($10) but one feature it has over the Nikon was a macro feature which I am interested in seeing how that works.

This will be the first time I have used a third party lens and I will post a review about it after I get to field test it. Its suppose to arrive on Wednesday 12/3/14 which is tomorrow and I hope for good weather the next day so I can go out and use it.

Below I have provided links to the items I talked about for you to so you can check them out. If you decide to purchase them please do so through those links it will help me keep the site running for another year thank you!


Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (Video)

This is a video I put together of my favorite pictures I took while visiting Edwin B Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge this summer. Going to try to visit there again this winter to see what wildlife passes through in the winter months.

 

 

Adventure Aquarium

So over the weekend I went to Adventure Aquarium in Camden, NJ. I must say the place has changed a lot since the last time I was there, and it was a change for the better. Here are just a few shots I took there.

I changed some settings on the photo to make it glow.
