My First Go With A Long Lens

[G2EWS]

Hi All,

Went to Slimbridge Wild Fowl Trust with Mark and Peter from here. Tried and bought Mark's Nikon 600 f4. Only had my monopod so it was a very big learning curve for me. First time with a long lens and first time with manual focus.

This Is My Best Side

This is my favourite of the day. I know I got a bit of a dark hole behind him, but apart from that I am quite pleased.

Your thoughts are welcome.

Regards

Chris

mmmm 600mm with a D3x! Looking good!

For a matter of interest, why did you need to use manual focus?

 

[G2EWS]

Many thanks for all of your comments.

Chris, sorry I should have said it is a manual focus lens!

Regards

Chris

Nothing wrong with manual focus, back in the good old days that was all we had
