Hmm...more proof...how to get this to the wife...

As luck would have it, there was a post the blog of Digital Photography School (DPS) called Shooting Landscapes with Longer Focal Lengths. Huh...I need a long focal length lens....do you think if I printed this out and gave it to the Mrs...she'd understand and tell me to order the new lens?

Any help from the female readers on how to sell this to the wife would be greatly appreciated!

With fall arriving as we speak...I'd love to try it out in a river valley with the leaves on the trees all pretty.
