These were great on a hot summer afternoon. I had the XXP-175, which the site claims is the first “multi-barreled” of the line, and it seemed staggeringly huge at the time. I can’t remember which one my brother had — might have been this one.

Weekend fun

I’m really happy with the photos I took of Amy waterskiing (the subject matter helps of course). I used my Sigma 105mm lens, set it to manual focus, locked it in (after all, she wasn’t getting any nearer or farther from the boat) and shot away. The sun was at a great angle, and I used a circular polarizing filter to cancel out as much of the glare off the water as I could. Lots of fun if you’re a photogeek like me.
