Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

you can always rent the lens from one of the rental websites, aber ob die in deutschland so was haben weiss ich nicht...

X-Tan, when did you take that pic of the castle? We were there in October 2009 and there was scaffolding everywhere just as in your pic.

Hi M_Six,

Sep 2008: somewhat I had better picture with my G9 than DSRL !

Silly me: only practiced my skill during holiday till last year; now I try to practice a bit in weekly base

I know someone who was there this past October and there was still scaffolding on it, although not as much. That's a long-running repair job.

yeah i've been on that bridge plenty of times. i grew up in augsburg. its about an hour drive to koenig ludwig's castles. he was a crazy man, but he did have good taste in decor (well for back in the day in my eyes) how did you enjoy your visit to bavaria? hopefully you checked out Munich and all the great beer gardens?!

btw here is my shot of it with the 1.3mp, using my first digital camera ever. 300 dollars for a sony cybershot 1.3 http://www.flickr.com …michaelphotog/4​619704940/ (i know its not a 10-22mm so i just posted the link so others dont get confused)

And that bridge is not for the faint of heart, especially when it's covered in snow and ice.

Marienbrücke

Thanks Octowl,

The German speaking countries are the most beautiful on the earth; I love to visit them all-time.

We were in Munich for 5 days during Oktoberfest 2008, then I had my 1st taste of LOCAL German beer which were MUCH BETTER than the imported German beer in OZ! No wonder many people visit the Oktoberfest again & again. We did some day-trip from there. TOO little time and too many places... We'll be back for sure.

aw man thats very nice of you to say! i love germany, but at times the weather can get on your nerves. its the opposite of texas thats for sure. hot to cold haha. bavaria is by far the nicest "state" in germany IMO. the local beer is best in my opinion even churchs brew their own beer. my opa was a brewer for 20+ years he still makes his own schnapps. and i have to agree all the "import" german beer here in the states is usually made in canada and does taste better then busweiser and all the other "not so strong beer" but nothing can beat a fresh brewed dark beer. add a butter pretzel and maybe a weisswurst/bratwurst with semel. mhmmmm. now thats oktoberfest at its finest. although i will admit oktoberfest isnt as good as it used to be. much more tourists (not that its a bad thing) hard to explain basically WAY to many people are there now and its so crowded. you have to wait hours before you can get a seat in one of the tents. either way a great experience none the less.

i actually have a friend moving to AUS, ive always wanted to go always see the surfing/coral reef footage. a family friend brought a package of kangaroo jerkey back to the states for me to try. lets just say i will stick with cow/deer haha. although after eating it i felt like i could jump a foot higher then usual.

sorry for the rant :\ cant help myself sometimes get all excited...

In Victoria Kangaroo is pet food only. So, I still feel a bit uneasy if someone service me 'roo dishes Rest the OZ do enjoy their 'roo

Brett,
I thought I'd seen all the possible images of fireworks and I thought one is no different from the rest, but yours is truly different. The light trails are so thin and well defined. They look awesome. Well done. Well done.

Thanks! The top set almost looks like colorful dandelions or something to me...

wish i could afford these. i do have a pair of bose headphones that do the trick though. just not enough bass as id like. CLEAN YOUR DESK!
