Well I got a decent bit of my pictures from the Goodguy's Car Show touched up and uploaded. Hope you all enjoy them. I'm rather pleased with the way they came out. I'm leaving for Myrtle Beach on Friday so get ready for a lot of Ocean and Sunrise pictures when I get back. I think I've improved a lot over the year so I should have some nice stuff.

Now on a side note, I leave for Myrtle Beach, SC on July 20th. I ordered some Graduated Neutral Density filters today so I should get some excellent shots. My dad called me and told me he had bought me a Wacom Intuos3 4x6 Tablet today which is awesome and will be nice for touching up photos. Other than that nothing much new.

Ok so I've decided before I head back to Myrtle Beach, SC this summer I want to get a new lens; something really high quality that I can get some great pictures with. I've pretty much decided upon either the Canon 70-200L f/4 or the Canon 17-40L both would be great. The current telephoto I own doesn't even compare to an L-series and the 17-40 would be my first wide angle lens and since I shoot a lot of landscapes would probably come in very handy. It's going to be a tough decision on which one to go with.

• Canon 70-200L f/4
• Canon 17-40L f/4

UPDATE: Well after reading review after review and looking at test images and everything the 70-200 seems the way to go. The quality is absolutely astonishing and it seems like a good place to begin with L-glass so I most likely will be picking that lens up sometime soon. I may also be getting a sigma 10-20 which will cover everything i wanted.
