At first I had a 17-85 USM lens, and it was nice don't get me wrong but I took it back and got the 18-135 IS. The USM is nice but no difference in image quality when comparing the two lenses while running it on the T2i. The USM Motor is quieter And quicker when focusing But it is not that quick and not that fast to make a big difference.

 

Nice pics Toad, did you use that new Ti2 ? I can't wait to start playing with mine in full manual mode

 

Some of the photos i took on my quick excursion to the San Jacinto Monument. Keep in mind Im trying to better my skill at photography so please bear with me, also none of my photos are enhanced.












Now if i could only afford one of those "L" Lenses and my Jeep MOD's

 

My first long exposure shot. 10-12min tonight around 10:25pm! So fun!

 

A few photos of this past weekend with my 6 yr old skiing at our local skihill. We made the hike up to the Sub-peak of our mountain just about 8000ft. We enjoyed the views had a ice cold water and a some chocolate chip cookies to re-energize our bodies for an epic steep and deep powder run!


Made it to the peak! (Tip Top as my son would call it!)


Enjoying his victory to the top!


Enjoying the views




Looking back at the sub-peak

 

here's some recent shots at the beach and elsewhere...

 

hey thanks! I'm rather new to the game of photography. Got my first dslr last November. I know I have a long way to go but I feel like I'm starting off on an OK foot.

 

Great shots Trip....

 

Some great stuff everyone! Keep 'em coming.

 

This is a few I took took (1300 total) Saturday at the Greater Atlanta Schutzhund Club.
