leicamann Posted March 29, 2012 Share #4 Posted March 29, 2012 Thank you so much, Stuart !Just a bit of "The Doug Herr Approach" influence Well you might want to consider a 400mm or 560mm... they are still relatively easy to get and not too expensive.

Iduna Posted March 30, 2012 Share #6 Posted March 30, 2012 Marc, even without a tele lens it is an expressive picture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_dufour Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share #7 Posted March 31, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you so much, Iduna ! I like the picture as it is, with the sea envolving the bird and locating it in its context. But I also should like to get a closest approach, something like this one, to get its character (100% scale factor crop) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted April 1, 2012 Share #8 Posted April 1, 2012 Marc, A lovely picture with the colors, composition and clarity. Quite an excellent mood from seeing this and hearing the crash of the waves against the rocks. I would say that the 100% crop of the second picture holds up well enough as it is that you must as yourself, Do I really need to spend the money and weight of that lens when result like this are available with what you already have?

marc_dufour Posted April 1, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted April 1, 2012 Paul, Thanks a lot for your so kind appreciation. The question you raise is the one I do myself, since a lot of time ! - Because of the money matter, the Modular system or the Apo-Telyt 280/4 are from another galaxy in my case - The 280/2.8 is cheaper, but so heavy... So I'm afraid the only lens affordable for me would be the 350/4.8 wich would give a closer approach. Although in the cormoran picture, the crop is more or less equivalent to a 1200 lens ! So, I'm afraid I'm still considering for a long time Thanks again ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
