Travel
And boy are my feet tired. Lots of pictures to go through, but hoping for some good results.
In April, Michelle and I took a roadtrip to southern Ohio and Pennsylvania. We spent a few days in Columbus and then headed an hour south and east to the Hocking Hills.
Hocking Hills is a well-known Ohio beauty spot, and aside from a nice walk, I was excited for the chance to photograph some waterfalls (which are almost unknown up here in the flatlands) and some caves.
I knew I would want something wider than my 17-70 lens, and I decided to rent a Sigma 10-20mm from LensRentals.com. I have to say that the rental experience was great. After some quick vetting (they emailed me at my work address and checked me out on Twitter), LensRentals shipped my lens promptly in a well-padded box with all the prepaid labels I would need to ship it back. The lens was clean and in great condition. I plan to rent another lens this summer for some zoo shooting and highly recommend LensRentals as a way to try out new gear.
So I just got back from eight days in Costa Rica. It had been a couple of years since I’d been out of the country, and I was getting a bit of wanderlust. Unlike my last trip (to Peru) I knew Michelle was coming with me. She’d never been out of the country (Ontario doesn’t really count), so we picked a place that was exotic, but convenient. Flights are cheap, dollars are readily accepted, and they even share American plugs and voltages. In short, it was a perfect introduction to international travel.Read More →
