We should have a some sort of theme or competition type of events.
If any of you watch Jared Polin, he use to do a monthly competition with certain themes which got me more motivated to get out there and take pictures. However he stopped on the month I decided to take part
Does anyone here enter competitions?

Also, can any of the Nikon brahs recommend me a logical next lens? I'm shooting a D750, and I have a 24-120mm that came with the camera and a 50mm 1.8 I got for my birthday. I'm mainly into landscapes and travel stuff. Anyone have experience with the Tokina 16-28mm F2.8 lens on full frame?

you can get some pretty crazy background separation at 600mm, even at f/6.3. In good lighting conditions and on a tripod, i can get very sharp images on animals. But most my subjects are small animals. With people, you need to be pretty damn far lol.
I have a friend that wants to do a couples shoot soon. I will give it a shot.

That lens does look hnng for sports though.

Is 24 not shooting your landscape needs? Sure wider is better, but 24-120 really covers so much its crazy.
I'd say go for a 70-200 if you are shooting people, but 16-24 is pretty damn wide. 16 especially.

I would use it for car/ truck interiors, which I shoot a lot of, the 24mm did fine on the last one I shot but I was wishing I had something a little wider so I could get closer to the steering wheel. Maybe I should hold off on it and look for a telephoto. What 70-200mm are you shooting, and is it on full frame? I'm thinking of just going with the Nikon 70-200mm F/4 (instead of the 2.8), the extra F stop wouldn't really benefit me since the camera has such a usable high ISO range.

The tamron 70-200 2.8 is the best you can get. VR+ a tad more sharper than the nikon =win. A little slower autofocus, but for what you shoot, this shan't be an issue.
Oh did i also mention it has some dec macro capabilities.

I've never bought a third party lens but that's because most of my lenses are 5-10 years old when Sigma and Tamron weren't making glass like this. Starting from scratch today I would.

I get a lot of flack from other photographers because I'm not using Canon glass, or when I suggest Tamron over Nikon/Canon glass. Usually for no other reason other than it's "third party so it can't be as good". Completely untrue in this day. I almost see no reason to have Canon glass when third parties like Tamron or Sigma are doing it better, and cheaper.

From my experience with the new Tamron stuff, it's been spot on every time.

agreed with all. my first tamron was an old 17-55 or whatever and i thought it was just crap ass build quality and slow focus.
once i decided to get into wildlife, i looked at all the options and ended up going with the tamron 150-600 since it was best bang for buck. I was so impressed with it on my first shoot at the zoo, i ended up getting the 24-70 vc and 70-200 vc shortly after. they are especially impressive when you compare the price difference.
Tamron has impressed the fck out of me, to be honest. Of course, they will never ever match the name brands in focus speed since they have to reverse engineer and whatnot, but its pretty close. Their VC system is really good too.

I'm on the Tamron bandwagon as well…. i have the 15-30, 24-70, and the 70-200. beasts of glass. 15-30 has a bit of distortion on the wide end and doesn't accept filters…. other than that they take fine pictures and the VC is amazing. If they release an 85mm VC 1.8 prime i'll be all over that!

I had the 70-200 2.8 Marco Non-VC version for canon and did not like it. Not very sharp, terrible autofocus. I sold it and bought a used 70-200 2.8 Non-IS canon and love it.
My 17-50 2.8 Tamron on the other hand, was fantastic.

Tamron's 150-600mm for $779 after rebate:

These are new USA versions, not grey market. I am so damn tempted to buy one, but I really would have no regular use for it. My 300mm got zero use when I had it.

3 moar boar days until Utah/Nevada for a 4 day photography weekend. Day 1 at Arches, backpacking/camping. Day 2 a 3 hour photography tour of antelope canyon, horseshoe bend. Day 3 hiking Buckskin gulch, about 1/2 of it, so maybe 8 miles of a slot canyon 2' to 10' wide. Then day 4 at Zion Nat Park.
Anyone been to Zion before? Narrows or Angels peak? Don't have the day fully planned yet.
Any SLC brahs have experience with the REI rentals? Needing a tent, can't fly with that ****.

When you come to think of it, almost all human behaviour and activity is not essentially any different from animal behaviour. The most advanced technologies and craftsmanship bring us, at best, up to the super-chimpanzee level. Actually, the gap between, say, Plato or Nietzsche and the average human is greater than the gap between that chimpanzee and the average human.
