We took Rory to the lake this afternoon and he had a blast. Pictures are courtesy of Ian

Rory seriously loves the water... we were walking the trails and before we even made it out, he was in the lake!

Looks like he had fun! That last shot is beautiful!

a) I'm jealous that you have water and not ice. I'm so sick of cold.

b) Great shots of Rory! Looks like he had a blast!

I love that first one! What a beautiful shot. They are all great, though!

Wow Ian's a fantastic photographer!

Thank you!

At least I like to pretend. This was actually my first shoot out with my new 55-200VR, been pleasantly suprised with it so far!

Is it Nikon?
2166 Nikon 55mm - 200mm f/4-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR (Vibration Reduction) Autofocus Zoom Lens with 5 Year U.S.A. Warranty
That's the lens on my list as my next purchase... If it is, how do you like it?

Yup that's it. It's affordable for a telephoto and surprisingly pretty sharp wide open. Not to mention with VR I can get a decent shot of something still at 200mm at an exposure time of 1/30.

It's slow at f/4.0-5.6 max aperture, but for the price it does well in available light.

Now, the 70-200 2.8 VRII, that I would love! ... If I win the lottery :lol-sign:

You and me both...that's my biggest complaint about my Quantaray 18-200mm...it's sloooooow...my Tamron 75-300 was much faster, but it also had a shorter focal length, so meh. It's a trade off and I can always slap that one back on if I really feel the need for it.

Those are great pics!

Are you talking about focus speed? Because the focus speed is actually pretty decent with the 55-200 (at least as far as I've noticed so far).

I was talking "slow" as it pertains to the maximum aperture of a lens. IE a lens with f/2.8 max aperture is much faster than one with a f/4-5.6. The aperture can be opened up further, allowing for higher shutter speeds with the same amount of available light.

Thanks, all!
