Got a new toy today

Day 69 of my daily photo log, otherwise known as Project 365. Got my Sigma zoom super wide angle lens today. I love it. Is like a wide angle and zoom lens combined. As I am never happy with the lens I have on at the time, this was perfect for me. I was able to zoom all the way in and still take this picture from an arm’s length away.

Sigma Lens

Sigma Zoom Super Wide Angle Lens [adrotate group=”6″] My First Test Shots My new Sigma zoom super wide angle 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS (Optical Stabilizer) lens for my Canon Rebel Digital EOS arrived today. Within five minutes of arrival it was on the camera and I started shooting anything within eyesight. Here are a few sample pictures. I think I will keep it. Geek Good Girl and I headed back out to Point Vicente because she is planning on ordering one over the weekend. Had to let her play with it for a little while. [adrotate group=”1″]

A Blustery Day at Pt Vicente

Whale watching

Day 68 of Project 365. We took a little break from work and rode up to Point Vicente to see if the whales were out and about. It was very windy out, making the water quite choppy. While we did not see any whales breaching we did manage to get a couple shots of water spouts. Oh well, I have a new lens coming in tomorrow so Geek Good Girl and I will try again tomorrow. I have to test it out anyway, right? My daily photo is of Geek Good Girl and me.

Cooks Corner El Toro Road

Cook’s Corner [adrotate group=”6″] Our Sunday Ride to Silverado It is Sunday, but it has been raining on and off for over a week. We passed on our ride last week because of rain. Naturally, since we did not ride, it did not rain all that much. We decided to not risk passing up another ride only to have it not rain. Of course, that just ensured that it did rain. It was not that bad. I rode my Electra Glide and Daniel rode his Fat Boy. Daniel’s friend Edson joined us on his Yamaha. I don’t think he was …

National Veterans Mural

National Veterans Mural [adrotate group=”6″] West Los Angeles VA Center Last week, you may have seen the video I took of a mural at the VA medical center in West Los Angeles. I decided to submit it to CNN’s iReport, and they felt it was worthy enough to contact me in their vetting process to validate the video. They asked if I had additional photos, which I did, but only a couple and they were taken with my point and shoot, from my bike. Today I went back with my Canon Rebel and took some higher quality photos. [adrotate group=”1″]
