Hey all!

Here's something I shot Yesterday, using the old EF 75-300 mm III zoom lens from Canon. This'll be the start of my new project #onelensperweek. I'll use this lens exclusively until next Wednesday, and then change lenses.

The long telezoom is perfect for shooting birds, although as it is an old kit lens, it's pretty shoddy quality-wise.

At the shorter end, one can take scenic shots of nature.

And it can be handy when shooting flowers from a couple meters distance.

I'll shoot and post more photos taken with this lens during the coming days.

I'll be seeing you again tomorrow! :)

Some very beautiful shots to explore it seems so cool : )

Very nice shot. The yellow flower shot is simply amazing. What is the exposure you used. Is it the same lens 75-300 mm

Thank you!

I post the exposures (and other such information) under the photos, like this:

So yes, it is the same lens. I'm going to shoot a whole week with that one, then move to the next lens, and eventually go through all 7 of the lenses I own.

I'm thinking this might help me find my lost motivation. :)

This is a good idea. One lens per week so I could learn about these lenses.

Nice zoomed photos of flowers.

Did you take those shots at the beach in Takkula on the northwestern shore? A great thing you got started with the project! I think you should really use the #creativecoin tag. For one thing, it would take more than just Steem Power to flag you and take away your rewards...

Yep, Takkula.

I don't know anything about the creativecoin. And all my tags are already spent. :(

CCC is the ticker for Creative Coin Crypto on Steem-Engine.com. It's a SCOT token that "powers" the creative community. Visual artists, including photographers, among other creative content producers are welcome to post content using their own front end or the #creativecoin tag. There are people here who seem to value that community and its coin. Hence the good rewards.

By the way, SteemPeak allows ten tags these days.

Ok, I'll sacrifice one tag to test it out.
