the view from outside my garage
Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2006 9:22 pmI am ver much looking forward to any opportunities to use my newly acquired 17-35. But unfortunately I'm stuck at work and indoors everday between the hours the sun goes up and comes down...
I decided today to document my journey using this newly acquired lens, since I have a 70 minute commute each way. Travelling the breadth of Sydney, I thought I was likely to come across interesting photographic opportunities, however upon review - all the pics looked the same: crappy, boring unimaginative shot from inside the car with indistinguisable distant scenery out the windows.
The least crappy one was the last frame of the day - arriving home, just getting out of the car, standing on the driveway and looking across the street admiring the setting sun.
More than anything, this shot illustrates Nikon Capture's much improved highlight recovery (since ver4.4) and D-lighting features than it does the 17-35 lens or my lack of skills. <sigh> Ah well, thought I'd at least share something before I delete the lot.
