Playing With New Lenses

I got two new lenses this past week. Both are Sigma. One's an 8-16mm (I love it!); the other's a 55-200mm (haven't used it too much, but it's great so far). Here's a few photos that I've taken so far from around town and at the zoo.

The first are with the 8-16mm.

These are with the 55-200.

I'm Baaaaack (Sort Of)

Greetings, all. Apologies for the lack of posting at all lately. Apparently PhD coursework is much more time consuming than I had anticipated. Anyway, I hope to start posting at least fairly more regularly now. While it doesn't mean I'll be here every day, I do hope to at least get up a post a week--at least until the semester begins in late August. Then who knows. To kick things off, here are just a couple of photos I took while walking up to the store this afternoon.
