After I've shown some of my favorite shots from my trip to #Venice here, I thought I'd share some insight on the lenses I used. Because while preparing this trip I was wondering which lenses I should take with me. Being more a nature shooter I had no real practical experience of which focal length would get me the desired architecture shots.
Fortunately I had a chance to test the #Nikon AF-S 24-70/2.8G before the trip in the old city of Altdorf close to Nuremberg. And I was qui ...more...
