This shot is a brilliant example of the Prantl Glaurt Singularity for those of you who are interested in aerospace. Basically transonic flow over the wing causes steep temperature gradients and results in the condensation of water in the air.

The 300mm is a fantastic Lens but if nature is what your looking for a 500mm would be a better bet

Not nature but one of mine





cheers Chris


No matter how many times I see that pic, Chris, it blows me away.

It proves the old "f/8 and be there" axiom, doesnt it?

I think the 300/2.8 is divine, an absolute joy to shoot with. Here are some bird examples from me:

(1) With 1.4x

(2) Without TC:

(3) With 2x:

If you get one, you will definitely be glad you did!

f8 and duck!

That's one of the coolest shots I seen as well, one of those "how did he get that?" types.

Someone above asked why do we really need to post shots from the 300 (or any lens) again. All of the shots on this thread are certainly a good reason in my mind!

I have used this lens for a number of different motorsports but I think this sums it up pretty well

That would be one special 300 f/4, with ablity to shoot at f/3.5

Chris I have seen that shot many times and it never fails to impress. Did you have the focus point set to the right or did it just sort of happen that way?

Jon, what has happened there? Is that an engine blow up?

Take it from a retired jet jockey, that wing tip vapor is actuall uninal drains !
Cheers
Harry And P.S. I think my EF 300 f2.8, MK 1-took the same level of photos, minus IS, of course. Both are great lenses, in the right hands.

i just love the creaky smooth bokeh of this lens wide open too.
basically it has no CA of any sorts and is mad sharp wide open corner to corner and has great bokeh, super fast and precise AF, f/2.8, IS (only bad thing is IS is older, but ONLY minor nitpick on anything, well it is bulky and big, amazing lens).
