We had some fog this morning. Seemed a good enough excuse to be a bit late to the studio - so I took the long way.

Yet another from Haleakala on Maui - this one about 1/2 hour before sunrise.
I managed to get a good spot and set up for a couple of quick star shots with the 16/3.5 before the hordes with headlamps came around me. Highly processed.

I could have done better, but I ran out of time - next time I'm going to go there a sunset and stay all night until sunrise.

If you look closely enough at full resolution there's all sorts of streaks (satellites) going through the image.

Jaw dropping shot John. 20 sec and no star trails?! Did you use a tracking system ?

Lots of food and dessert in the last few posts

Three more from today's trip. The last one is with the 20 3.5 UD, of a barn on the way out from Conowingo. The cows outside the frame started mooing at me really loud so I beat a hasty retreat towards my car soon after that pic

Really like these 2!

+100 well done!

Just 1 day out and another lot of great images!

Monty, loved both sunrises, but liked the most the second one with the 16/3.5;

Peter, what gorgeous flowers set with the 80-200mm f/4 ais, a rarely seen lens over here - good to know what the lens cand do in capable hands!

Larry, hope you recover as soon as possible to post many shots with your 20mm;

Philippe, magical "bridge over the seine" shot - I bet the lens was wide open!

Samy, loved the eagle BIF with the mighty 1000mmf/8 - who said only AF lenses can do BIFs?

Great images from today everyone. I took a full load of MF lenses with me today, and finished off lunch grabbed the camera bag and 20 minutes later got called out with the fire dept. for a huge house fire.

And then I was off to work with the fire dept.

Here is one as the fire was winding down smoke, clouds, and sun. AF lens so I'll link it.

Today morning this guy was resting in a pine in front of my balcony, ~35m (115 feet) away.
There are even mistletoes seeds in the perch, probably expelled by this same bird.


Social Flycatcher with a 1280mm f/9 lens by labecoaves, on Flickr

Taken with a D7000 + TC16A teleconverter + Nikkor 800mm f/5.6 AIS EDIF (= 1280mm f/9) + tripod + wireless remote control.
ISO 200, f/9 at 1/80s. Heavy crop ~40-50%. Effectively the lens was 1280 x 1.5 = 1920mm! just mirror lock up for 3-5s and a remote trigger can produce a not blurred image.
Even wide open (f/5.6 x 1.6) I think this lens + TC16A deliver usable images.

Wow what a great shot. great technique and setup to get what you needed.

This is a really nice shot! Love the lighting and the use of bokeh to highlight things!

Monty i love the use of the 16mm 3.5

I had a chance to use the 85mm 1.4 for my original intended purpose - Portraits. I dont think I have ever had a lens that required so little sharpening. I love using this lens.

Very nice portrait work Ray. The first is very sharp. This one has a very nice look about it.

Thank you for the berry shot comment. First posting here for me using tubes.
