Wife and I took another weekend excursion. This time to the north coast (CA)
and spent yesterday in and around Crescent City.
Late afternoon on a windy extremely chilly day I took another shot at Battery
Light. The DA 55~300 is a very light non-internal focusing lens. When racked
out to 300mm you can't breath near it when shooting. A peek through the
viewfinder showed it to be vibrating continually, but took 11 shots (cable
switch/2 sec delay) hoping for a moment's quiet. The link is to the only shot
that appears to have been nearly vibration free. I was stubborn enough to not
want to go larger than f/6.7 (wanted some foreground rock detail) nor higher
than 200 ISO.
This taken just as the sun was sinking into the Pacific through a thin blushing
persimmon tinted atmosphere.
All comments welcome.

Late in commenting, but I'm glad I looked.
I missed it in the excitement of moving my mail server.
Spectacular photograph. Gorgeous composition, and that light is
sublime. Someone else said it might be the best photo you've shown
here, and I can't disagree with that.
I agree, it's superb.
Thanks so much for posting.
cheers,
frank
