Just before my Scotland trip I got a Nikon D800. Since I didn't then get a wide angle lens with it I didn't take it on the trip. But I have a macro lens (Sigma 105mm f2.8) which I started using more. It works much better on the D800 than it did on my D5100 - that being because the D5100 does not have an internal autofocus motor and can solely use the lens's. This makes focusing this lens on the D5100 way slower and more inaccurate. It even went so far that I'd switch to manual focusing and even the smallest movement of myself, the camera, or the subject would put everything out of focus.

All around the world the Autoshows for 2015 are coming up or have already kicked off. Although Vienna's Autoshow is way smaller than e.g. Detroit's, there are still some nice cars to have a look at. There was no Ford GT 2016 but I got to see the new Lamborghini Huracan and many other powerful cars. Here's what I came up with. I hope you like them.
