Captured the bird taking off at Redondo Beach, CA with a macro lens. Camera settings were adjusted and was ready just in time to capture the moment. One of the best captures on that day.
Nikon D750, Nikon 55mm f/2.8 AIS Micro at f/4, 1/1600sec, ISO 100. No PP. Exif shows 50mm because I forgot to change the Non-CPU Lens Data in menu after changing to this lens. Entire set captured on that day were recorded with 50mm.
I will wait to rub it in once we wrap up the T20 series, thereby winning two out of three series in South Africa.
Ram, real cricket is a 5 day TEST match!! Don't get ahead of yourself 1st time in 26 years that India has won any series in SA, while SA in India........................
That’s a great capture. How close would you have to be to capture this bird using 55mm?

That’s a great lens and I am sure if you post this ad in the Zeiss / Sony group and mention Ronny’s award winning photo, I see you getting a buyer for sure.

Anyone interested in a 16mm 3.5 Factory AI converted?
I have 2 and plan to sell one of them. Both in very nice condition. One of them is close to mint and the other one is maybe a 9.
Figured I would offer here first since this the lens has a lot of fans in this thread
I know you will mention that. I think things are changing for sure in Indian squad and for first time in decades they have now specialist players for different format.
South African team has always been a great time and I root from them every time they play against the Aussies but I think they have to pull up their socks now.

Been around, not really posting a lot. Definitely haven't been shooting much... This past two weeks I have been inspired to pull shots off the camera and process some. Here are four from that bunch. First is my baby girl getting so big.
35/2 AI - D700, Honest truth, all I did was crop to 8x10. Rest is SOOC and whatever LR defaults. Flare is real.
Here is my technique. I dont use the focus ring much as I like to focus as close as possible. Instead, I move my body to and fro until I see the green dot confirmation.

Yes, good technique but I find at 82 that once I start rocking I can't stop it! :-)
