I got my new (to me) 55-300mm telephoto zoom lens today, so thought that I would have a go at a long distance handheld shot..................................................... and breathe!

I think that the filament has gone in the bulb on the top! I'm glad that I don't have to change them! I get wobbly up two steps!

Hi Mike

It's tempting to see how far you can reach. And then maybe crop to increase that reach.

I'm not familiar with that 55-300 lens, but my advice is think closer to home. Try it at 100, 200 or 250, a slightly wider angle where composition becomes more important. And haze, pollution and aberration is less evident.

Anyway, you've got years to experiment, no rush. Enjoy.
 
Good first attempt Mike - it is however: leaning to the right slightly :) & Personally I would have used Portrait as a opposed to landscape

Thanks folks. It was just to test that the lens was actually OK as it had taken a week to arrive by snail mail and I wasn't sure that it hadn't had a hard time en route!
