I haven't been around the forums much these past few weeks; between getting the gallery up and running, (with the grand opening reception a couple of weeks ago) the weather not really cooperating, and the usual health issues, I haven't had much opportunity to get outside with my cameras. Now here we are, at the end of summer, and very few new photographs to show, but I am hoping that it will be a good September, and looking forward to getting back into the swing of things.
Here's a few recent shots from my Sony DSLR, which should show that the included kit lens is not nearly so terrible as some people on these forums would have you believe. I have yet to see any edge/corner softness, and I am always amazed at just how sharp this lens really can be.
Nothing special this time around, just a few from down by my shoreline, all handheld, as usual.
