Winter Shots

So, I bought a new lens - the Canon 75-300mm f/4-6.5 cheapy. (Sort of - it cost $200.) I knew full well going in that it wasn't the best lens, and that it had plenty of problems throughout the zoom range, but hey - I wanted something that would let me get in nice and close to whatever I was shooting. So of course I had to go play with it, right?

So, below, you can find some of the pictures I took with the new lens. Some are very heavily processed for an artistic feel, but some are only marginally touched up. I must say - even knowing the lens isn't the sharpest thing in the world - it did a very good job. I wouldn't use it for a full-on professional shoot (too much color fringing, and not enough sharpness), but it works just fine for what I wanted it for.

As always, you can see these and more in my gallery!
