"jen,jen, jen..come over to the dark side "
bwaahhhhaaa
I'm planning on going out tonight for the glow and then again early tomorrow morning.. My DH and I go every year - I love it!
Save some bucks, just get a little bottle of white-out and start brushing - voila, instant white lens, sure to get the other Canon shooters envious.
and, believe me, they demonstrate you don't need the "huge white lenses" to get great pictures. Beautiful shots, and I especially liked the night ones!
We went to the Plano Balloon Festival.
Whoa!
I have never seen so many huge white lenses all in one place in my life.
I want one!
Sure would be cool to pull one of those puppies out of my camera bag though. :
those huge whiite lenses look nice, but in a crowd of those, this custom lens stands out and gets more stares..
Yep, there's nothing like the look on the other photographer's faces when you mount a big L series onto the camera, and then add the extra large hood on front. Be sure to tell them "I left the big one at home today" for extra effect.
"Once you start buying L series, forever will it dominate your destiny" Yoda.
That is something that I kind of miss after selling my 400mm F5.6 lens - it was a monster! Of course, you almost needed a monopod to even think about getting a steady shot (although I got rid of it before I got my K100D with IS, that may have helped, but the CA was unacceptable on the lens)... but it sure did look impressive, especially with the built-in lens hood extended!Yep, there's nothing like the look on the other photographer's faces when you mount a big L series onto the camera, and then add the extra large hood on front.

I still want to pick up a vintage Zeiss 180mm F2.8 one of these days, another monster that weighs over 3 lbs...
As for that green lens, that looks like a prop from the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters ride!
