nice.  did you try their spicy breakfast rice noodles?  what a beautiful place~  i went on a similar trip last year at the end of a drought, so the water levels were really low still.  http://www.pbase.com/moxfactor/201003310403guilin&page=all

btw, are most of the photos with the 24-70?  the lens you use seem like very nice glass.  what did you use inside the cave?  a nikon 20 f2.8 prime?  (just checking your exif data)

ah, of course.  i should look into that lens, perhaps not for myself but for a friend who likes urban photog.  for my own preferences i started out with a 50 f1.8 prime and i stuck with it.  it's light weight and really sharp at wide open.  after selling the Sigma 10-20 when i got my D3s, i ended up with a 24 f2.8 as my wide, which is another light weight, small and fast prime, which i use for street photog more than the 50mm.  i started learning how to use the 100+ range for landscapes, and haven't really had the need for anything between 24-120 range since...  or zooms for that matter.  i've been almost always carrying primes and considering multiple bodies.  lens wise, i'm considering a 16 fish for some interesting shot ideas and a big gun for my kenya trip next year.  looking forward to trying out the V1 for the 2.7x crop with the F mount adapter.  should be interesting for birding and video.  (my setup - http://www.pbase.com/moxfactor/news)

i really should start posting photos again~  this forum's been pretty quiet recently.  where did norman go?
