One with the 14-24...

I revisited the "new" swamp here in Orland Park, Illinois. The swamp was recently created when a road was built near this area. It's actually a water retention pond.

#1 (D700 and 14-24)

Thanks...I suspect that the Village is dealing with the mosquito problem at this location. I haven't seen one yet--thankfully.

excellent! This is the one lens that actually makes you feel like you are there. So Sharp across the frame

I was on the fence of this lens or watiing for the new 70-200....

I would surely have more fun with this lens and the images it produces are so unique that they stand out when viewed in a gallery of assorted images. The 70-200 sure is a great optic can the images are very common....

But, reality sunk in and money is tighter than ever...at least I know which lens I would get first if I had to choose.

Thanks for sharing...

It really all depends on your style. I enjoy the 14-24, but for my type of photograpy (I tend to shoot telephoto far more often than wide angle), my choice would be the 70-200. Both are great lenses...but for completely different purposes.

Thanks Rob...

I blended three exposures to create this image. The fact that the clouds were actually moving between exposures might have actually helped the photo!

Glenn, love #1, the cloud and the reflection. But where is the mosquito? I must have missed it!!

Fortunately, I have not seen a mosquito all summer!
