Lovely shots! It's great to have a nice big zoom available when you need it! If you're struggling with sharp shots try to remember the focal length rule, so your 70-300 has an equivalent focal length of 105-450mm (It's on a cropped sensor Nikon so they have a 1.5x crop factor, making the lens appear tighter) If you can keep above 1/500th of a second you should be ok to get tight shots at any focal length. Of course at f/5.6 and 1/500th you may well end up needing to go to a higher ISO than normal unless it's a particularly bright day!
Some lovely shots in there all the same! I recently bought a 40-150 (80-300 equivalent) for my Olympus and I love it, but it does amaze me just how much light you need really!
I was kind of hoping that you’d come and comment on this post because you know your shit when it comes to photography 😁
I’ll try a faster shutter speed next time, I think I only had something like 1/125 on these. I’m starting to dream about a full frame camera....
Ah, that may well be it then! If you're doing tripod work a self timer tends to make the shots a little sharper too. Haha I used to want FF so bad before I eventually got my first. I do much prefer the look, depth of field is nicer too but only if you're pixel peeping. Your 35mm is actually more like a 50mm so it would make that look quite different! Mind you, 50mm is my favourite focal length so you might miss it! BUT, your 200mm would look a lot different too! Long zooms are awesome with cropped sensors!
