Images of San Francisco and Alcatraz Island and Penitentiary. There is an extraordinary atmosphere, amazing views of the city skyline and far fewer tourists on the Alcatraz night tour - highly recommended! Click here to view the image gallery: SF & Alcatraz gallery

Anil - Rokinon lenses are a good example of "you get what you pay for". It's a cheap lens with mediocre quality.
Anil January 6, 2011 at 12:14am

Has anyone used Rokinon lenses ? Why do they seem to be so inexpensive ? I am looking at http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Rokinon-650-1300-mm-Zoom-Lens-...

Any comments ?

That's the right answer IMO, Ed. Even the lighter weight of a top-quality P&S compared to a DSLR does that - especially on long zooms. While I love the lighter load of my Fuji S1800, I'm going back to my Digital Rebel kit for anything but casual snapshots.

A Tripatini member asks me why my latest photos are so soft (aka lousy), so I said, "After decades of being well hung with good SLRs, I finally caved in to using my cell to take snapshots. And the funny thing is, I'm so used to having some weight in my hands that I can't hold the cell still. Or, at least, I think that's the problem." Let me know if that's not necessarily the right explanation. (Here's a link to the photo in question: http://www.tripatini.com/photo/122610151151-1?context=latest)

If a winter trip to Alaska has ever intrigued you, have a look at today's blog with 28 photos from a drive from Whitehorse, Yukon to Skagway, Alaska. It's a 200-mile round trip through some of the most spectacular scenery on the continent. http://www.tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/a-bitterly-cold-drive-to
