le chateau frontenac? I thought that's what it was, but it's been some time since I've seen it in person.

By the time I got out of the car, set up the tripod, screwed on the filter, mounted the camera on the tripod, and got it ready to shoot, I had time for two pics and the sun was gone. It was much better looking when it was a degree or two higher. It's amazing how fast the sun sets when you're trying to catch it before it's gone.

And I need a longer lens. This is a serious crop.

what lens do you have in mind? and which did you use?

[M_Six]

That was the 24-105, which lives on my camera. I love the lens, but it just isn't long enough with the wide open spaces here. I need a 70-200mm F4 IS. I've been close to saying "screw the body upgrade, buy the lens" a couple of times. But that means many months before I could upgrade to a 7D or 5D MkII. The 70-200mm F4 IS shows up on CL for a decent price every now and then.

From pictures I have seen....it looks very European...I should feel right at home

Slightly OT...but does anyone love the Fiat Abarth commercial as much as I do? (it was just on t.v.)

[E90Mario]

Awesome shot Mark!

Remember, one shot per post.

I really like the second shot, showing both lots of details and motion.

I like the lens flare in the first, but the car has little detail and the electric lines really clutter things up towards the right side. If it'd all been against those trees, then it'd be much stronger. Still, good effort.
