I got a new wide angle lens (Tamron 19-35), so naturally I had to rush out and try it out (on the first non-rainy day). I visited Old Borges Ranch, an actual old ranch that the City of Walnut Creek (or the county or someone) has turned into a park. This means that there is a lot of concrete (almost up to the barn), making getting a good shot hard.
But I tried. I found working with a wide angle a bit strange. I also picked a day when there was a lot of clouds and sun, and midday too, because that is when I could get away. Too much contrast. At this point, I don't think it was the lens, but the timing. The optics actually seem pretty good. http://members.aol.com/eactivist/PAWS/pages/cacti.htm This is nothing great, proves more that I am shooting than anything. :-) No barn, something else. Something that had less stark contrast. Comments welcome, of course. If nothing else, you may say, "Hey, Marnie nice you are shooting. Keep it up!" Hehehe. Marnie aka Doe
