Day Lily in our garden. Shot with the rented 70-200mm F4L.

200mm F4 ISO200 1/160 handheld

remmib · 06-18-2011, 09:08 PM

Went to a concert today with Lissie. Not sure how famous she back home in US.
Wasn't sure how to edit this, so pretty much just crop and sharpen.

M_Six · 06-18-2011, 09:47 PM

Nice image, remmib. With that serious backlighting and without fill flash, you're fighting an uphill battle. Some serious post processing might bring out the foreground some, but it'll be at the expense of noise. Besides, your image has atmosphere. I like it.

Chewy734 · 06-18-2011, 09:54 PM

awesome shot remmib!

Got any details on the settings and lens you used?

Litos · 06-18-2011, 10:41 PM

finally my car doesn't look like an asshole.......

No, only in pix. Did you get a shot?

I am thinking of going up into the mountains to try to get a mountain bluebird, which has great blues, but none of the other colors of the Indigo.

i don't have a super-tele. but we have a few around this house that come to our feeders. my stepdad likes to watch them and has a little book, so he knew what it was - he should invest in some bird photo gear.

I've had some good results putting the 1.4x TC on my 1.6x crop-sensor camera with my 70-200mm f/4. If you've got the f/2.8, then you could use the 2.0x TC with most bodies. I've only got the 7D, but with a pro body you can AF with a 2x on an f/4 lens.

Anyway, getting up around 400mm effective focal length opens up lots of possibilities and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

rodi · 06-20-2011, 12:40 AM

don't have a 200, even. i could setup a tripod in front of the feeder with a remote and wait.

Wow, that amazes me, given your great skills. You might borrow a 70-200mm to see what you think. The IQ is amazing for a zoom lens and what distortion there is is easily corrected in LightRoom. (I use DxO instead of LR).

At the short end it's good for certain scenics, in the midrange it's a great portrait piece (including cars) and at the long end it's good for wildlife and things far away. Throw a 25mm Extension Tube on it and it's a great macro lens and throw a 1.4x TC on it and it's an even better macro lens.

The tripod/remote thing will certainly work well, just stop down enough to get good DOF.
