The level of detail this lens captures is ridiculous. You can see every freckle on the kid's face at 100%. Totally worth the (very expensive) price.

I remember I took this on the day I got my 50mm 1.8. This is Evie, my girlfriend's kitten.
the hidden beauty of an oil terminal
Nice. Something about the lights and sky just says "yes". Lots of hidden beauty out there, we just have to stop a bit and look. Cheers
I've uploaded the pic to my online agency. Of course, when buyers do a search for 'chicken & chips', this may not be the shot they have in mind.
Squirrel and chip...
Another volcano picture, this time at sunrise (and only an itty-bitty eruption):

It is Cathedral Gorge State Park in Nevada - about three hours north of Las Vegas.
Here's one from Saturday's trip to the park:
First Almond blossoms for the season at our place.
Beautiful shot John.
Well islolated and the water drop reflections make this image shine. Nice to see the blossoms from two different angles in one shot.One very small nit...there is tiny intrusion into the frame (left side ¼ from bottom) that is a bit distracting. This is only noticeable because of the outstanding quality of the shot.
Mine for today is a pair of Cormorants. Cormorants are webbed feet waterfowl that, around here, seem to spend more time perched in trees than on the water.
Another Balloon one. I promise to get out in the next few days and take some more. I have next week off work, so I'm trying to decide where to take myself for the day shooting. Possibly Wales coast or maybe up north.
You've reminded me how long it's been since I went to Wales. I'd love to go to Fairy Glen again and take some photos. Haven't been since I changed to digital! Have fun!!

Thank you both. Peter, I normally have a good eye for errant things in my frames during post work, not this time! Will do a re-crop on the master and eliminate it, thanks for pointing it out to me.

Wonderful photo, I wish I were as good with action shots. You should submit this in this week's photo contest.
