yvon_bourque1 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi fellow Pentaxians and friends, We were in San Diego a few weeks back. My step son lives there. We went for a drive along the beach. I actually don't know the name of the beach, but it wasn't very far from the airport. I love the beach life. It always seem that people are more relaxed in beach towns. Of course, I'm getting up in age and don't really take pleasure in soaking up the sun or even swimming in the ocean anymore. I leave that to younger people. They have the bodies for it. We had a few drinks at a typical beach bar and then strolled down the main street. We did not have much time on our hands and, not being alone, I respected everyone's time and only took a few photographs. I had my K20D with me and the DA*200mm f/2.8 mounted. So I took pictures od seagulls with the DA*200mm. What a great lens. It's fast and crystal clear. I'm still working on a review of the lens. By the way, these are good looking seagulls ...don't you agree? Best Regards, Yvon Bourque<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graybrick Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Amazing. I can't believe you've found girls at the beach. It's even more amazing that you were able to capture overcontrasted, oversharpened photos as evidence. Count yourself among the lucky that you grabbed this rare opportunity, and thanks for sharing.

joe_jackson4 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Come on people, let's make Andrew suffer... Yvon, what a surprising stroke of good fortune it was that you selected a telephoto lens for a trip to the beach... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even more amazing that you were able to capture overcontrasted, oversharpened photos as evidence. Count yourself among the lucky that you grabbed this rare opportunity, and thanks for sharing." You are correct, the pictures are overcontrasted and oversharpen, I apologize for that, but I was overexcited and overwhelmed but wanted some evidence. I count myself lucky indeed as none of the subjects seemed to care...or maybe were too far away to care. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
