I have fluffy blankets for her to relax on in the garage when she visits.

Any of you guys know much about camera lenses? I'm getting Melissa a new telephoto lens for her birthday and want to make sure I'm not dropping $1k+ on the wrong thing

I thought those were for EW when he visits.

T-7:00 if anyone plans to watch the launch

Stick to Canon or nikon lenses pending on what she has. Sigma and tamron are good third party lense as well.

As for the distance themselves. You'll need to judge that. 100mm-300mm is a very reasonable distance for most shooting.

The other thing to look at is the f stop. Lower the number, the more blurry the surrounding will be that you're not focused on.

Disc was excellent. Haven't ever shot that well on that course

Lunch after was on another level Haven't eaten like that in months

Started off with some poutine and oysters from the appetizer menu. I split The Grateful Shrimp and Taterfish with a friend. Also ordered a bowl of gumbo and the boudin togo for tonight

Will be back next Sat after disc for another helping of food I haven't yet tried

I'm looking at another Sigma. I got what i think is a killer deal on a Sigma 70-300 shortly after I got her the camera (Canon EOS T-6) $100 for the 70-300 a Sigma 28-80 and an older 35mm Rebel G2. It was advertised for $200 or something for all on FB. I asked about getting just the one lens and offered $100 for it. They said take it all

She is now into taking pictures of birds and I want to get her something with more zoom. I'm looking at this Sigma 150-600. I want to make sure it's a big enough step up over the 70-300 to make it worth while.

here are a couple of the birds she is baiting into feeding in the back yard shot with the 70-300

Its about 72 degrees here. Slight breeze. I think we will take the puppy to the dog park and enjoy the rest of the afternoon under a tree, maybe fish the city lake while we relax...

Mmm... oysters. The gf was absolutely disgusted by oysters when we first started dating. Then I made some fried oysters and she was brave enough to try it. Went to a buffet that served raw oysters, she tried it just to stop me from nagging her to try it. Now she cant get enough...lol


Im marinating some chicken for my El Pollo Loco copy cat recipe for tonight

I can't tell you how many times I've got people that don't eat seafood to come to the light side after tasting fried oysters/crawfish/shrimp/etc

Then they find out that just about every other method of cooking (or not as the case may be) them is better
