Testing Out My New Lens


So for my birthday I bought myself a new lens, the Canon 17-40L f/4. Today was the first test run and I have to say I'm quite happy with my results. I talked my friend Chill into taking a drive with me over to Santa Cruz. Well we cruised up the coast line and it seemed everyone in the bay area had the same idea as me. TRAFFIC! and no parking! Well while driving around looking for parking we had our windows down since it was about 60 degrees outside. Funny thing was while passing the light house on my left side you could hear the hippies beating their drums. Chill looks over at me and says " when you can hear the drums, you know you're in Santa Cruz." Couldn't help but laugh and think to myself how true that really is :) Well about 30 mins later while I'm taking my Sunset photos a group of Santa Cruz hippies roll up on their bikes and decide to stop and park it right next to us. Then all of the sudden as I'm snapping off a few photos I hear a drum beat. I turn around and see a few of the hippies slapping their hands on the wooden railing while staring off into the sunset. It seemed they were saying good bye to the sun for the day. Guess they were worried the sun might not come out tomorrow or something. Anyhow HERE are a few of my favorite photos from today. Let me know whatcha think.
