RE: A hawk in the gardens

in #featherfriday6 years ago

Yes Fate was kind to me that day, as I was heading outside it was to take shots of the roses in the garden and I was kind of frustrated I had the zoom lens and not the macro with me, but then I saw the Hawk and was happy I had the 24-240 with me :)
How cool you also saw a Hawk, Hopefully next time you do you will be able to get shots of it

Tip and engage only work if you have enough tokens I know I have got caught out with tipu a couple of times when I have forgotten to top up my account and ran out of funds

Have a great weekend

About the same happened to me this morning after I saw the Hawk. I wanted to shoot some macros at the reservoir, but I have put the 70-200 on the camera, just in case I see a bird for featheredfriday before I get to my insects. I saw a group of swans, and when I photographed them I saw another animal 😁
I wish you a nice weekend too.

How cool is that the right lens at the right time for such a cool shot ;)

That's for tonight's post. I have seen and photographed them quite a few times by now, but none has looked direct at me, and no photo was really sharp or any good. Today I have got a few quite sharp photos, but the 70-200 is too short - I know now, what to save for ;)

I suspected it would be for tonight’s post how cool it was looking right at you
A longer lens would have been so handy right then do you have one in mind to get ?

Right :)
The 100-400mm is about 2.200 Euro new, and the 2x teleconverter is about 400 Euro. This is much too much at the moment, and not even necessary, to be honest, as long as the Steem does not get more valuable ;)

The sony 100-400 and the converter are about the same price range here, thats why for a longer lens I am considering the Sigma 150-600 if I ever want a longer lens which with the MC-11 converter is about 1K

Tamron has also a 150-600mm lens. The Canon lens is definitely too expensive for me. But I think, I have spent enough for my photography by now. I will wait for a while, save my money, and decide in a few months, what to buy :)
