Oh wow... Congrats on your new toy, Kirk. I believe that you can handle any gear with your excellent skill. I try to find my favorite and I just keep scrolling up and down. I can't. I love them all: awesome low-angle work, calm water, nice background, lovely poses. You nailed them all with great detail and rich color.

These are some beauties Kirk. A good photographer always makes the stars look good and these look great.

Kirk,
Sweet set in gorgeous light and way down low.
Congratulations on the new glass you deserve it.

-Tim


Thanks Tim. There's definitely a different experience shooting the longer glass that has given me an even greater appreciation of just how good you and some other veteran big glass shooters are.

These are wonderful pics Kirk, sharp and with lovely colour tones, low angles and clean bgs.
You got a real nice lens combo there my friend.
Good see you back and congrats on the new lens!

Great set Kirk. I think we're all in for a treat since you got the 500. You were knocking them dead with a 300 f4 for the longest. Good luck with the lens and hope to see more soon. #7 is my top pick.


Really appreciate the good words Herb. It's pretty cool what a little more reach can do, I'm loving it so far.

There ain't no stinkin' learning curve Kirk. Your usual top shelf images of what must be one of your favorite subjects. Big congrats on the new glass...and now a bit of gym time to pump up the arms and shoulders to steady the longer lens
Great to see you back and out shooting!
Eric


Well there was a bit of learning on how to find the BIFs at 700mm.
And yes... after 3-4 hours hand-holding the new rig, I get a little more selective about swinging it up for only the best opportunities.
Thanks a bunch for the good words buddy.

The colors in the water, and background really set these up nicely. Lighting, POV, and detail are all spot on. Wonderful collection, Kirk.

Thanks so much fro the very gracious words Ed. This pond is my favorite spot with great access and magical light and color.
