Hello Tim It's a nice shot - but still a little too far away, I think. It'll be a fine day when you get the new lens! In other words - the photograph would be even nicer when you can "get closer". Did you use a converter on the 70-210mm to get 350mm?
Or did you just multiply 200 by 1.5, which IMO is not correct - a 200mm is still a 200mm on a Ds? All the Ds does is crop the image made by the lens, to the small 16x24mm (apr.) format. The lens does not actaully enlarge more, just because you stick it onto a different camera ;-) Regards Jens Jens Bladt http://www.jensbladt.dk -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Tim Øsleby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sendt: 19. marts 2006 18:30 Til: [email protected] Emne: PESO: Fisrt attempt at birds My first attempt in my eco political photodoc "Fuglefjæra på Nordfjordeid". While waiting at my "new" long zoom, I am using my Vivitar 70-210 S1 plus AF1.7x. Not the best combo for this, but I got to start somewhere. I have a lot of practising ahead of me before I am a bird photographer. http://foto.no/cgi-bin/bildegalleri/vis_bilde.cgi?id=225879&brukerid=35178&n omenus= 400 ISO, tripod, f:6,5, 1/640, cropped to portrait format. I really need some feedback on this to get me going. This image is not meant as documentation on the specie, more a getting the "mood" picture.
