Not about bikes, but still cool anyways

So, my wife was awesome this year (as always) and gave me a new DSLR for Christmas with a new lens. I also borrowed my brother-in-law's lens to do a comparison of what each lens looks like at a set distance. Here's how I took the pics:
1. Set the camera to the lowest aperture and set the exposure via the meter
2. For the 2 zoom lenses I took pics at each of the marks on the lens. This will help me reference things a bit when trying to compare them.
3. For the zoom lenses I also zoomed in all the way to focus and kept all the settings the same across shots.

The shots do look pretty washed out, but my idea was to show what perspective each lens gives. The last shot is at night after I was able to borrow a 35mm lens from my brother-in-law.

First up is the 18-70mm 3.5-4.5 kit lens that came with my previous DSLR.
