Good advise! I am wondering about a longer lens myself to go with my tokina 12-24 for wide, and my canon 28-135 IS for walk around. But I thought the 55-250 would be a bit on the short side, as I would like to use my long lens for motorsport. How would a canon 70-300 or 75-300 compare? Or are...

Hello everyone, Does anyone else feel embarrased when getting their tripod out in public - so to speak. I took some pictures last night, some long esposures of traffic and got a couple of poeple pipping their car horns at me. When I use my tripod generally it attracts some strange looks, or...
