Hey eveyone. Well, I wanted to know what you guys use for still shots, so I thought that I would post up what I use. My camera of choice is the Canon XSi, and I love it. I have two different lenses for it, the 18-55, and the 55-250. They work really well for what I use it for. I did get some shots of the full luner eclipse, but because the 250 lense is not that big, they were just a little grainy. But, for a lense that cheap, I couldn't complain.
Now, I like to think that I can take some pretty good pics. I love taking pics of lightning and storms, but this year has been a total let down. Nothing even close, and nothing severe here where I'm at. All of that went east, and I hope everyone over there is okay. but, that is what I love taking pics of.
Below are just some of the pics. The eclipse was taken just as the sun was starting to shine on the moon. I just really like it for some reason lol. The rest, are from a single storm. No cloud to ground lightning, only cloud to cloud. Still love it.
