Thanks to hys for his ever so enthusiastic voting of *Likes* to my images.
I really appreciate that you take the time to view my photos. This "gang" of workers in the picture, are the local "Jack of all Trades" - keeping the wooden docks tidy and in good mainternance and keeping an eye on everything. This is the Museum-harbour where all the old wooden boats are tied up.
Thanks again, hys!

Thanks for the explanation about the SP 15-30mm, Robert. I remember your Death-Valley images very well. As a matter of fact, I used a link to those (your) images, in one on-line dicussion about lens-flare in my Norwegian Photo-Forum, as an example about the Tamrons good lens-coating (compared to Nikons).
Thank you for your kind words and 'Like' of this image. As you noted, tornadic/tornado activity can be both frightening and beautiful. Thankfully, there were no damages to people or property. The Tamron SP 15-30mm is a wonderful lens! Previously, I had the Nikkor 16-35 VR, which was also great, but the 15-30 extra stop, and slightly wider angle of view were enough of a difference for me to trade. The Tamron is a bit heavier and bigger than both the Nikkor 14-24 and 16-35, but again a trade-off I was willing to accept. The convex front element does lend itself to some flare, but nothing terrible. The integrated hood and internal coatings appear to control it well. There were a couple shots in Death Valley that I thought might be really problematic, but at most there was a spot or two that were easily fixed during PP. Hopefully, this information is helpful for you, and others too.
