a chain link fens in the same manner:

I'm just glad to see what can be done, and am thankful to all.

Your lens is sharper and your eagle is cleaner, but to be fair, mine was shot the first day I had my DA zoom.

You dont have to have fast glass to shoot through a fence.

A couple of tips.

Make sure the fence is in the shade (or spray paint it black

)
Use a reasonably long focal length
Make sure you are as close to the fance as possible.

There were shot with a Sigma 70-300 5.6 lens through wire.

You can see a little wire in this one..

Thanks Moose, and those are righteous shots.
