I had just gotten a new zoom lens for my Nikon D3100, a Tamron SP 70-300 mm, and was excited to break it in over a family trip to Tampa, FL. As sort of a novice photographer, I found that using a zoom lens was MUCH different from the kit lens, and had to do a lot of practicing before getting a successful shot. That being said, I was extremely proud of this photo in particular. This was taken four years ago.
