I found myself wishing that my boy was old enough that I could use him as an excuse to go. Meh, I may try anyway. Legos and Buckeyes?!?! Add beer and it would be the trifecta of awesomeness. . .

Our 7 year old is a girl. Lots of cool stuff there. The Buckeye stuff I posted is nice but there is stuff there that will blow your mind. I only took a few more pics. My wife works for Nationwide. Took a pic of that...

My younger sister worked at CVS during college. Took a pic of that...

There were way more elaboate and impressive things than what I've posted.

Just pulled the trigger on a new lens for the ongoing migration season plus a two-week December trip to one of the premier birding spots in the entire country. Brace yourselves....bird pics are coming.

I'm debating if I should get the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8, the Lensbaby Edge 50/80, or both for my DC trip next month. I'm really missing a nice UWA to fit between my standard 18-70mm and my 8mm fisheye, and it would come in really handy inside the monuments in DC, especially with that faster aperture. On the other hand, I love the idea of all the creative stuff I could try with the Lensbaby optics. I'm leaning towards buying the Tokina and renting the Lensbaby, maybe renting both and seeing which one I really love and buying it.

What did you get?

Canon 100-400 L series ii. First l series lens I've gotten and probably more than I need, but I figure why not have an expensive toy while I continue to learn. I'm pretty stoked.

Plus with Edie's art, she needs better source material, so it's a business expense...which knocks a pretty healthy percentage off the cost. :lol:

So I've lived two lives... the one before PhotoMechanic and this new one after it. It may not be in the cards for many folks at $150 but holy crap is it fast. Gone are the days of slogging through Lightroom.

It's basically a crazy fast way to sort through your pictures and pick the best. It races through them at the speed of a cheetah, and zooms in immediately as well. Then you can go back to lightroom and do your tweaking.

@scarletmike, this has to be on your christmas list if you don't have it already.

Thanks for this recommendation. Slogging through my too large library in LR is the biggest hinderance I have. I'll definitely be taking a look at this.

EDIT: Yay, 30 day free trial. I'll be grabbing the trial just before I head to DC so I have it in a time that it would be most useful and gives me the most chance to use it.

Well, I didn't intend to, but I ended up buying the Tokina 11-16 f/2.8 tonight (via BP's Amazon link, of course). My original plan was to rent it through LensRentals and then if it was a good copy do their "Keeper" thing, but their Keeper estimate was between just shy of buying new to $50 more, so I said screw it and bought it new.
