New lens fun.....

My darling sweet hubby surprised me with the

new Tamron 18-270 lens with stabilization

and piezo drive.

 It is lighter, faster and quieter than the previous lens.

It also slides out easier (no stuck spot)

and when you're shooting down

it doesn't creep out.

 So we took a rode trip through Casey Key

and the north jetty in Venice.

 I love this lens as an all around and I don't need

to carry a lot of gear when I travel.

I know some pros may scoff, but I'm a total

amatuer. I admit it. My whole

goal is to get great shots that don't need a lot 

of behind the scenes tweaking.

 These needed a bit of tweaking as I still have

problems with direct sunlight.

And people had body parts peeking out in

the edges of my pix.

So I blotted them out.

 However, I'm excited about these.

This is the Venice skyline from the jetty.

Lots of water.

 And the Nokomis beach, a great place to hang

is in north jetty park. 

Its also an inlet for boats, and has some great

fishing. And pelicans.

Love them.
