The Photography Thread

I'm debating buying one with what's left of my loan money (I STILL HAVE NO JOB).

A few snapshots from my birthday at the San Diego Zoo:

There is some awesome detail in those photos, noice noice.

And you could consider buying my 70-200mm f4, which I'll be selling in 2-3 weeks probably (possibly when I'm in LA). Going to sell for $600 or so, probably.
 
Nah man, 2.8 or bust for me. I'm leaning towards the MKII on top of it. Stupid of me, but... ughhhhhhh god it's so bonerific.
 
But dear god it is pure class. Hopefully I have the cash when a refurbished one comes in. My only hope is that B&H will be releasing the refurb, because Canon's online store calculates sales tax (whereas B&H does not).

I'm sorry, but I'm not paying 8.75% tax on a $2000 item.
 
A week or two ago I sent some of my images to SPIN to see if I had, from a technical standpoint, anything they would be interested in. Well, I got an email back today and they invited me to submit as much as I can to Soundcheck. I am so unbelievably happy about that.
 
Self-portaits. Took these about a month back. Did a great studio workshop today, so hoping to shoot more and see if I can do something lower key.

I really wish I had the 70-200mm 2.8 for the Earth set, could have gotten some better closeups (pretty much all the f4 ones were at 1600 on a noisy XSi, and at 1/50).

Anyways, here's some shots from the shows while I was in Cali:

That photo Pessimism posted with the guy on the contrabass is beautiful. The others look good, but the struggle with the darkness and blurriness is noticeable :))
