First 600mm lens shots · 07:13 AM

Used the 600mm lens today and it handles great!

I was after a a kingfisher for a long time and know 2 but I can not get everywhere they are hiding.

Every friday I have 2 hours to spend at the same place and have seen there more times 1 or 2 kingfisher birds. Maybe I do not look good and must look closer because I see them many times flying there.

Hey THIS was my day. I had the 600mm and what did I saw! A Kingfish bird!!!!

I know this can e MUCH better but I shot half through the car window.

Also shot this robin:

This is a magnificent lens

regards Walter

you're going to love it..
wish you would leave the exif info in the shot.

ToXiQ · 01-26-2007, 07:45 AM

you are right! But when I use the frame script it copies the photo

Exif Kingfisher:

600mm, f/5.6 1/30 sec., ISO: 200

Exif for the robin:

600mm, f/5.6 1/50 sec., ISO: 200

take that step out of the action or just start it just after that step. then use save as.. great shots BTW

i like this action. is the frame action copy right free??
if so could you post it here or supply a link?

ToXiQ · 01-26-2007, 08:08 AM

it is a script from MKSAD I think he is also here at the forum otherwise look at DPR

and yes it is a option in the script to set it off. But I forget it most of the time

regards Walter

Who makes this 600 lens? sounds wonderful and how much was it?
Picture look really great, I would image it lets you sneak up on birds from a far.

The clarity and detail on the robin is excellent as well as the composition and bokeh. I like the kingfisher but am disturbed by the 'fog' at the lower half of the photo. Can you tell me what caused this fog?

Hello Clarenceclose,

The fog in the lower part from the kingfisher photo is a part from the not completly open car window. When I noticed the Kingfisher I had to take shots before it disapered! And after 4 shots it was away!

roy · 01-26-2007, 11:35 AM

great color and clarity even wide open. great glass

roentarre · 01-26-2007, 01:09 PM

Wow, Walter. The king fisher is amazing. That rich colour through a thick layer of dense foggy hair to reach your lens... Lucky you!

That is a hell of a bird always in hiding as well. Lovely that you caught the bird in sight.

Your robin has that rich colour as well, typical of A* lens

JEALOUS!!!

Congrats on the new lens!

That robin shot is beautiful. Ncely done.

**NaClH2O** · 01-27-2007, 09:30 AM

Yea Walter! glad you got your kingfisher. Now that you've broken the "bad luck" go back and get him again! This time w/o the car window! Love your robin shot too. If you ever get bored with your lens, let me know.
