Telephoto Tuesday

August 25, 2014  •  1 Comment

I've been doing this blog every day for nearly six months without any rhythm to the entries. I've been thinking about using a pattern that I could follow through the week to guide my decisions about which photos to use each day. This will likely be modified or scrapped, but it is worth a try. So to begin I'll post a telephoto picture on Tuesdays.

These are Sandhill Cranes photographed in late January in northern Alabama. I used my trusty old Sigma 400 mm lens at f/11 and 1/200 second exposure. I think I may have used a tripod on this shot. I tried it both ways that afternoon but I got sharper pictures with my tripod. I'm planning on replacing this lens (that I have had forever) with a new 150-600 zoom that has much better optics.
