I'm liking the VR lense..

Cool

now all you have to do is make sure you show up for the big SD meet in august and bring your gear and we cool! hahahahahaa

aren't the illuminated plates issued to drunk drivers in japan? lol

simply sickness. :biggthumpup:

very nice mister rich...

sorry for the lens choice

regardless, lengthen your shutter speed
pictures will turn out better

I was told that same story 14yrs ago when I 1st came to Japan. Its not true.
 
[COLOR=lime]Yokotas13[/COLOR] you could at least answered him.......... I guess we treated you bad too when you 1st showed up so what comes around goes around. BE NICE !!

yer right
im sorry

Good pics Zion! Man I wish we could roll together or atleast have a photoshoot together!!!!
Oh well!
:shrug:
Lovin the ride!!!! Keep it coming!

What do you mean sorry for the lense choice?? Please explain.

looking good

Almost thought that was Intuit. lol

Always looks good. I'd offer to do a P.Shoot with you but your would make my car cry. O_o

looking good

Thanks [COLOR=orange]Damicci[/COLOR] for the kinds words,,yeah we will have to meet up someday and do a shoot.. 
 
Hey man dont talk your car down so much I thought it looked good in the pics..

just not my bag
reminds me of the canon 55-200 3.5-4.5
hated it
now i own an 70-200 f/4L
beset investment ever

plus its not really all that sharp
it might be that you havent gotten used to it,
but im not a fan of the all in one zoom lenses

[quote=Yokotas13;72167]aperatures are horrible

I don't have my camera set in VIVID for sharp pictures at this minute..like I said it was a 
quick photo shoot...testing out the VR..These shots were all handheld and very little 
light source..So I think that it did exactly what it was supposed to do...IF I used a tripod and 
lengthen the shutter speed set the aperture to 3.5 with a 10 second exposure and set the picture 
to VIVID it would really make a big difference in the overall quality of the photo. Plus soccer season is starting and I will need VR lens while zooming in at 200..
 
with out VR off

With VR On
[IMG]http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j298/q45t07/withVR.jpg[/IMG]
 
As you can see there is a big difference with VR..The VR tech makes it like 4 stops faster than normal shutter speeds.  IF normally shooting night shots I would use my wide angle lens and not this lens..I was just testing it out after I purchased it..Say an area with a little light on the way home and said lets see if this really works..

yeah
use a damn tripod
lol

for comparrison
the 70-200 canon on Manual focus, liek 800 stupid iso cause i was dumb

that whole IS bandwagon isnt needed, some people need it becuase they cant hold their hand straight, but canon has a nifty f/4 and f/2.8 IS
just showing that you can do action shots without stabilization

how much did that lens run if you dont mind me asking?

And Stops arent shutter speeds
stops are aperature mesaurements 
shutter speeds, are well, that

jsut to clarify, kinda confused me

Very nice zion! What camera is it? D50?

The lense was $249..Pretty cheap compared to the higher end lenses that nikon offers..but it was within in the price that I wanted to spend for another lense at this time. Soccer is starting and I want to be able to campture so further shots than before.
 
I am still a novice in photography, I have an entry level DSLR and it seems to get the job done for what I am doing.
 
As I progress so will my equipment.

It was only a question..

[QUOTE=eightsixgts;72229]It was only a question..[/QUOTE]
Which was answered and then he appologized for it..don't draw it out.  Your added input is not needed.

Zion, definately get a tripod, or remember to bring it.  I forgot mine a few times when I thought it was in my trunk..haha.  Shows me for not checking first.  The lens Yokota is talking about it great.  I think for your budget you did okay.  I think for your daytime action shots on the fly it'll work with much more favorable results.

hey rich, your input was very well-found and i see why you posted up what you did...that's not a psnl attack at anyone, but just a misunderstanding which thankfully got sorted out :) btw, here's one of the many pics i e-mailed you:

ILl tell you waht i was told by a man far greater than me (guy named dino)
Buy the best you can the first time

believe me, its worth it. Save your cash, buy the best you can get
Eventually you will see some pictures with it, or use someone elses lens, and be like, man, why the heck did i buy this thing?
Thats what happened to me.
I spend 250 on a lens, sold it for 150, then spent 560 on another one to replace it

really nice.  paint the bottoms already!

shooting your car at night, shouldnt require vr unless you are outside a carnival, parked illegally.  looks like you had setup time, and thus should have used a tripod for best results, allowing you to control shutter speed without shake.

fun pics.

bring the OT photo thread back to life.

viplife..
Like I said I was just testing out the lens..YEah this lense is really not intended for night shots more for daylight..After more testing I am finding that the center is sharper than the edges and focusing is pretty darn slow. This might be to slow for outdoor action shots. I may just take it back and try out another lens but not really sure what to get.. I would like the 18/200 but that is about $800...
 
I have lots to learn man..

[quote=viplife;72420]is your 70-200 f4L is?

No, i hate IS.
i can hand hold a camera down to 1/10 of a shutter speed
i dont need IS
