I got up at 4:30 this morning and drove out to Boxley, Arkansas, to get some sunrise pictures of elk before they moved off into the woods. I got a new 75-300mm lens, and I thought it had auto-focus, but I can’t seem to get the auto-focus to work with my Nikon D3000. Manual focus is difficult. What looks well-focused in the viewfinder turns out to not be so well-focused on the LCD after taking the shot. I don’t think this is the greatest lens, but it might be me. It’s a Tamron 672D. Maybe I’m doing something wrong with the auto-focus. I’ll have to research it further. For now, enjoy this gallery of elk. Comments are appreciated.

hey, nice pics of the elk! wish i knew more about nikon and your lens issue. if i hear something that gives me a clue, i will let you know.
Thanks. I figured out the auto-focus thing. The lens I bought does not have a focus motor built into it. I am returning it and getting the same one with a focus motor built in.
