I have one or two that should qualify I already posted this before, but last August I shot some pictures at a local fair using a Sigma 30mm f/1.4. That's 48mm on my 10D. http://www.arumes.com/photo/main.php?g2_itemId=50 But because I didn't shoot them during the mandate, I don't think they qualify. :-) -- Regards, Robert http://www.arumes.com

There are thieves and brigands out there, so we can't be too careful. I'm sure you'll understand. Bob [the pseudonym of your anonymous benefactor]

Bryce Canyon & Cedar Break National Monument, Utah. Bryce is spectacular, hard not to shoot cliche but what the hell <g>. All that southern Utah, Northern Arizona region is amazing, and all The West as far as I'm concerned. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |
