Panorama of Curiosity images (the three individual images before the set of three panoramas) of Mount Sharp in the haze. This was the first pass at creating a panorama. The stitching program washed out the mountain.

A photo of a fallen tree taken with a 20 year old lens on a 12 year old camera.
In its day the Canon 17-40 f/4L lens was a popular and widely praised lens. Now it has fallen out of favor to newer lenses and there are plenty of inexpensive copies for sale on the used market. I picked one up and took it out today to see how it would perform.
I wasn't sure what to expect because there are plenty out there who trash anything that isn't the latest, greatest and most expensive, but I found perfectly good sharpness across the frame and pleasing colors in every photo I took at different focal lengths and commonly used apertures for landscape photos, which is my intended use. It focused exactly where I wanted each time. It ended up performing much better than expected based on some of the comments I read about it in the present day.
I could have gone for the newer 16-35 f/4L if I wanted, but I was more interested in this older lens, not as much because it’s half the price on the used market but more for the smaller size and weight. I also found the extra 5mm of focal length on the long end more appealing than the extra 1mm on the wide end. Maybe the newer lens would be sharper but this one seems plenty good enough.
Penscynor Wildlife Park was a wildlife and safari park within South Wales
In 1966, Neath builder Idris Hale bought the semi-derelict Penscynor House in Cilfrew. The 11-acre grounds then became home to a large collection of exotic parrots and a number of charity days were held in response to public demand to see the birds. The Wildlife’s main attractions were the penguin pool, the chimpanzees enclosure and the reptile house.
Many of the enclosures still existed as of 2012, including the chimp houses and penguin pool. All structures are derelict, and in poor condition.
From a blind, digiscoped. These birds ran around like small wind-up toys, displaying with tails in the air.

Mt. Sharp in Gale Crater, panorama by Curiosity. The top image is in natural colors and the bottom image is in white-balanced colors (both images by NASA). I had to severely reduce the size of the image to get Flickr to let me upload it so if you want to see the originals in their glory, please see: mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/images/?ImageID=5134 and mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/multimedia/images/?ImageID=5133.
