I get no respect, everyone thinks I don’t work hard, so here is the proof, I do. \u00a0On assignment working on a holiday, St Patrick’s Day, on a Sunday even. \u00a0I put in three hard hours with only a good breeze, a pink cooler full of ice (hey,\u00a0I’m secure enough in my manhood to have a pink cooler!!), and a reasonably comfortable chair, but hey it’s the weekend, wonder what my workmates are doing, bet their taking the day off!!!! \u00a0No respect, I tell you, no respect. \u00a0So what did I get accomplished in my grueling 3 afternoon hours??? \u00a0Here is some of the shooting I did from the gazebo with some of the other participants in the Topix 2013 Event.<\/span><\/p>\n

I did get a chance to wring out the new 80-400 some today. \u00a0In a word, drop dead spectacular, let me put it another way, I will buy one in a couple of months when I hang it up at Nikon!!!! For me, I don’t need the speed, or cost, of a 200-400, and I think this lens is at least as sharp!!! \u00a0The VR is just beyond belief, I got some really sharp images at 600mm (on a DX camera it’s a 120 to 600 f 4.5-5.6!!!!) \u00a0With the new VR I was able to get tack sharp images at 600mm at a 1\/125th of a second!!!! \u00a0Look at the example below, first shot is full frame, 600mm, hand held, 1\/125th of a second, second shot is a 100% crop out of the first, just sick!!!!<\/span><\/p>\n
