Shelton Prison 50 years of protecting the public Oct 2014

An assignment.

This is the first time that I brought two cameras to take pictures with.  I used my D90 with my prime 50mm F/1.8 lens and my D40 with my 18-200mm F/ 3.5-5.6 lens.  I like the clarity and speed of my prime lens, but sometimes I need  a wide angle lens to get the shot.   My dream lens is a 24-70 F2.8.

No part of these photos to be stored, reproduced, manipulated or transmitted to third parties by any means without prior written permission.  These photos are for sale as full resolution 3000x2000 pixel digital images without watermarks.
