The Daily Wife and I were taking some stuff out to Robyn’s when we just happened upon this moonrise…I wish we had seen it a couple minutes earlier, but these worked out pretty good! (1/750, f4.5, 130mm, ISO 200, -2 stop) (1/2000, f4.5, 130mm, ISO 800, -1 stop) (1/500, f8, 300mm, ISO 400)

Day 233

Friday, August 20, 2010

I was out fooling around with my Sigma 600mm f8 Mirror lens today.  I think the camera body slightly surpasses the ability of the lens.  This is why there are “digitally optimized” lenses now.  The other limitation I have found is that it is a manual focus lens, and the Canon DSLR (Digital Single Lens […]
