A sudden bloom of thick snow this morning, allowed me to test out a sniper telephoto lens I picked up from York car boot with Woodstock last year. From my bedroom window I was able to clearly distinguish the TV transmitter on Winter Hill, Bolton some 20 miles away.
Amazing panoramic shots
ReplyDeletecheers Andy, its one extreme to the other!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics I agree. I love the bird in the first shot. From its jizz I'd say its a crow. Just how far can your lens see?
ReplyDeleteTha's gripped me off there, Woodsy! a good spec. I reckon that 20 mile distance is about its operational range, trouble is the slightest movement makes focussing difficult, as the image bounces around in the viewfinder. But not a bad buy for 3 quid!
ReplyDeleteIts on hire purchase Bill. Its £3 every time you use it!
DeleteSuper value lens, Bill. 20 miles is some distance. Did you use a tripod or improvise to support the lens? :)
ReplyDeleteTripos and a remote trigger to avoid camera shake. Lens is about 18” long and has its own tripod mount. Still jiggled about when traffic went by though!
DeleteThat was me passing you Bill in my Stretch Robin Reliant!
