Uploading another batch of pics from trip, this concludes one of three full SD cards (~300 per). I think I kept about 50% of this first card, so maybe 300 more ? Seems rather high... haha.
I do believe I took more bracketed images, so that'll probably cut down the uploaded numbers some...
Link for uploads from today (whenever it finishes uploading)

Selective Coloring
My first attempt at selective coloring came out OK, I think.
This is one of the pictures I took at the Scottsdale Arabian Horse show in AZ. Whenever (and it might take a while) I go through and upload all of my pictures - I'll link up the set.

First Portrait
I got my lens today, somehow, someone found the truck and delivered the package... even though it was supposed to be held at their office for me to pick up. But everything worked out for the best, even with another UPS fail.
This is mainly a landscape, or inside-room type of lens. At 10mm it gets a huge angle of view and at 20mm it's somewhat not-distorted and can be used for people photography (not really portraits).
The picture you see here is what kind of 'comical' effect it can have on non-landscape stuff :)
I like it.

Story of a Lens
So, on Thursday (1/29) I purchased myself a Sigma 10-20mm lens. (Side note : for now, at least, I think this completes my lens set.)
As always, I get my stuff via Prime + Amazon.com and next day delivery! Idea here was to have this delivered on Friday to play around with at Grand Isle on Saturday.
Lens ships, I check out the shipping and ... oh crap! "Signature Required". I twitter a few times, and sister volunteers to go sign for it - yay! I tell her to go sign for a UPS package, few minutes later she twitters back saying that the package is on a table in the living room.
I work all happy and excited for the rest of the day, have a nice drive home, stroll into the living room and spot my package ... go pick it up.... too light. I knew as soon as I picked up that there was no way that there was a lens in there.
Forgot to tell sister that there was FedEx package coming as well as a UPS package, oops! I did tell her to sign for a UPS one though... sigh. So I start calling all kinds of UPS places to try and go pick it up that evening -- have to get it for Grand Isle! No luck, truck will be back for 10pm and the Distribution Center closes at 9. DAMN.
Spend a day in Grand Isle taking pictures.
Come Monday, for whatever reason they cancelled my "Will Pick Up" or whatever it is called, and attempted to deliver again... tards. I call again to schedule a pick up. Same lady calls back saying to come by the facility between 7:30 and 9 - yay! Finally! Right ? No...
I get there at 7:59, surely late enough for them to figure stuff out... ? For the next 30 minutes four people look for the truck that supposed to be parked in there somewhere to get my package out... no luck. Are you kidding me ? Four people couldn't find the truck... how do people find it to drive (as I understand the drivers swap trucks all the time).
Went home empty handed, no lens. They're supposed to call me to come get it tomorrow :|
Damn.
