SteveM April 11, 2009 April 11, 2009 Well I braved the spring break crowds in DC and spent the day there yesterday taking pictures. Here are a few from around the monuments. I'll be posting more on my web site later this evening. (see my sig for web site) Let me know what you think......
Jon Lazar April 11, 2009 April 11, 2009 Steve, Tell us again what camera and lenses you're using for these pics. Jon
SteveM April 11, 2009 Author April 11, 2009 Thanks guys. Jon, Right now I'm using a Nikon D80. Planning on making the jump to a D700 soon. I used a few different lens for these pics. A Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 VR, a Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED AF-S DX VR and my best lens, a Sigma APO 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG/HSM lens.
dshnarw April 11, 2009 April 11, 2009 nice shots! good choice going during the week - much smaller crowds. how do you like that sigma 70-200? I'm thinking one of the 70-200s will be my next lens choice - just not sure whether I want to spend all the extra cash to go for the canon to have image stabilization or if the sigma will do the job.

Daniel, I think it is a great lens, especially for the money. Every review I found on it before buying it was positive. If you look at the picture I took of the Capitol, I was several blocks away from it and it is one of the sharpest images I have ever taken. (Look at it full size and zoom in)
