Above, I just thought that was a cool shot, the moon is in it, I think it shrunk, smile. Wanted to say that that is full frame. I couldn't figure out how to crop it to make it any better. Lots of my photographs are full frame, but that one could have been a crop easily, it is just interesting to me, anyway, that it came that way out of the camera.

gosh am I tired!

Thats it G...great shots :clap

[rutt]

Great, Ginger. I knew you of all people would have a blast with this lens. It's like strapping on the gauntlets of power, isn't it.

I'm sure this is just the start.

[gus]

G..its the same diameter as your 400mm (77mm) so you only need to buy one circular polariser.

[rutt]

And look at that daytime wide angle moon in the last shot! Pretty cool, eh?

[Andy]

Ginger

Probably some of the coolest shots you have posted on Dgrin. Ever.

[Dee]

You're having way too much fun! I love the first shot...way cool, and the others are real neat too.:clap

[DavidTO]

Ginger

Probably some of the coolest shots you have posted on Dgrin. Ever.


I agree. That is such a fun lens.

Hey, not to rain on your parade, and I know how you feel about cleaning your sensor, but you may want to run through these images and clean up some of the schmutzies in the images from the goobers on your sensor.

[Rhuarc]

Absolutley love the first and the last one. Geourgeous sky, and loveley white birds!

[vandana]

Cool Stuff !:thumb love the first shot, it's a beauty !

[Stormdancing]

Gorgeous. I see you're having fun with your new toy. Keep it up.

[livinginoz]

[ehughes]

I did, I got the moon!!!

I saw the moon on the way from church to there. I even said the moon was why I needed to take the photos THEN. I was going to take the moon with my 400 as I knew there was no way to get it with a wide angle lens.

Then I forgot the moon until after we left.

But I got it, I didn't even see it. That was just about the last shot I worked up. Since I missed the moon, you can imagine that I missed dust spots. I even changed lenses on the beach, more stuff on my sensor, I am sure. The photos with the longer lens were not as good as the ones with that ultra wide, so I decided not to include them.

Yes, I am trying to clean up clear areas, like the sky because of the sensor, but I do see one spot in the moon shot that I missed, and I am sure there are more.

Thanks everyone for looking. I knew that lens was something special, I just knew it!

Actually, the birds were perfect for it, as a subject. I can't imagine a followup to them.

Thanks, again, all.

Very nice Ginger. :thumb

[David_S85]

#3 is awesome. Ginger, these are really good stuff. It's like a new you all of the sudden.

[gregneil]

I like them all, but that last shot is.... WOW.

I love the 3 "partial" birds on the edges that kind of frame the one whole gull that's in a perfect position. Awesome.

[ChrisJ]

Hi Ginger, what can I say except I agree with everyone else? These are great! I think #1 is my favorite, then #3.

[Phil U.]

Hehehe - and they say when you go birding your lens is never long enough. Very cool stuff.:thumb

[Harryb]

Outstanding Ginger. :super

I think these are some of the best shots I've seen from you.

[Dixie]

Excellent shots, Ginger. :thumb

I really like the wide-angle work - especially # 1.

[Osprey Whisperer]

:thumb :thumb Nice "SeaRatts". :D

[jwear]

does not always have to be a 500mm :thumb

[DoctorIt]

the shoreline perfectly frames the bottom of the shot in this one:

In my opinion, it frames it better than the "artificial" frame you used for that last one.

:hide

good stuff, ginger. :thumb

[Thusie]

Outstanding Ginger:thumb:thumb:thumb Those are just tops

[MotoKat]

Yowza! Those are beautiful! :clap

[bfjr]

Your best post to date :clap :thumb :clap :thumb

[ginger_55]

Good gosh, I am overwhelmed with "praise"!

Uh, Dr It, that artificial frame in the last one, it is exactly as I saw it in the LCD window. However I can understand you liking the other one better, it is just that the other one is just as natural. In fact, I had to straighten the horizon on the one you like, whereas the other one, there was no cropping or adding done at at all. They are birds, just happened to be in that position.

But good gosh, thanks all!!!! I am, as I said, overwhelmed. And a bit scared as I cannot imagine a better subject for that lens. I actually was trying to copy a photo in a magazine that was taken with a wide angle. I did not get anywhere near that photo. As usual, I got my own photos.:dunno

Thanks again,
and you all playing down in Florida, enjoy!

[erich6]

Ginger,

I'll join-in with everyone saying these are absolutely great. You've captured a lot of energy in these shots. The wide-angle really helped just bring the birds out. Lots of dynamics here! :clap :clap
