Monochrome Madness 2 24/52 Low Tide in Moss Landing

My contribution to Leanne Cole’s Monochrome Madness 2 this week is an image I made a month ago or so. There wasn’t much happening bird wise so, I switched lenses, and my mind-set to Landscape imaging. I always carry a wide angle lens for this reason. I was packing light this week and carried my 24mm f/2.8 af-d Nikkor lens which fits in the palm of my hand. I love how small and light-weight it is, it’s just not as sharp in the corners as I wish it to be. The new lens that replaces this lens is bigger, and heavier so, I’ve not jumped on it. I just don’t want to carry the weight.

I am thinking about the new 20mm f/1.8 lens though! I may splurge on it. Time will tell. 🙂 Do any of you have this lens yet? What do you think?

There are some really talented photographer’s contributing to Leanne’s Monochrome Madness 2 each week. You can check it out here!

I picked up a new Point & Shoot camera to take Kayaking since I’m too chicken to take my DSLR with me. I meant to go Kayaking yesterday, but it was windy there, and the water was a bit choppy, so I bailed. Instead I wandered around the slough using the camera getting used to it. I bought the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ200 for it’s 25mm-600mm zoom (35 mm equivalent), its Fixed f/2.8 Leica lens, it shoots in RAW, and has Manual controls. Here are some of the first images I made with the camera. (Click on the image to see it larger)

It’s different, but with a little more time I’ll get the hang of it.
