Jack,GREAT capture Terry!
Oh, and a PS: Not sure I mentioned it, but one of my favorite accessories for that lens is a 3-stop ND filter (B+W .9 or 8x) so you can shoot it wide open in normal sunlight. A 4-stop would be even better, especially if you're going to have the new shutter work done, but I've not found any. They seem to jump from 3 to 6 stop, and 6 might even be okay... Let's see, a 6-stop would get you to roughly 1/500th at f1.4 with ISO 160 in sunlight, where my 3-stop is 1/4000th. Hmmm, methinks I may get a 6
Thanks on the shot, I liked it and also liked that I managed to get the two covers of time out in enough focus to read.
Another thanks on the the ND. I have an ND4 (2 stop) from a different camera (52mm so I can step up) and planned at that time to get a 3 stop and was talked out of it (Lesson: trust your gut!). I will add one to my next B&H list. Funny you mention it because I was just thinking about it this morning. There is a huge article in the weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal about the conditions being perfect for this spring being an incredible desert wild flower season......I feel a road trip coming....:thumbs:
