70-200 equals awesome
This weekend I borrowed the Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR lens from work. Looking at this lens, you wouldn’t ever guess is was worth almost $2,000. It looks like someone threw it in a bucket of bolts and tossed it around for a while. I took some time to clean it up and try to get the cross-threaded filter off the front, but that guy is stuck!
Anyway, I finally took a few minutes to ride my bmx. This of course resulted in me taking a few pictures with the borrowed lens. This is the first time in a while that I have truly hurt after riding, I think between lifting boxes and moving stuff around for the past week, it didn’t take much real physical activity to completely wreck me. Ugh, even after some advil and a few hot showers I still hurt. But then again, the built-in shelves we built today only made it worse. More on that tomorrow…on to photos.

So your camera takes better pictures than mine. I know that I was facing a different direction and the lighting is different and I was more zoomed in than you were, but I mean, there is a reason that my body goes for about $600 and the D700 goes for $2400. It is now evident what that reason is.
Wow.
You managed to make me look good.
I want that.

Honestly, it is probably just the focusing system. BUT…I do love my rig!
Hopefully, I will feel good enough to ride, but damn I’m sore…

I seriously love the wallride pic. I had no idea that I went that high on it…which is high for me.
Can I get a copy of it?
