Anyway, nothing out of the ordinary today on my side. Did not bother going to HoBe as my 200mm limitation is getting frustrating!

Rom if you get an international or a 747, 200mm might just make it. Though you would be sitting for quite a bit waiting. I know how that restriction is. Limited me for an entire year. I can shoot now but im limited to 300mm. The smaller birds are an issue but 767 and bigger I can manage. You will get there at some point.
Man what lens is that? You could cut steel with that sharpness!!:biggrin:Quote:

It's the kit lens, no? 55-200mm? Superb.. .amazing what the lens can do given the right conditions
Everyone, GREAT IMAGES!!! I am just floored by the quality and variety. I am always saying, GREAT LIGHT is what its all about. Nothing beats it. You can have the worst gear, blindly stab the shutter on full AUTO and you'll likely get great pictures.
Mark L., Eric has no competition, don;t worry, if you miss it, he'll get it :tongue:
Eric, thanks for the kind words on the $hitiest picture I have ever posted LOL. It was for demonstration purposes only. This is why an 800 or 1000mm lens from HoBe won;t give any better pictures. Look at how much heat distortion is being compressed.
What the 800-1000mm is good for is directly overhead shots of planes in flight at altitude. There the heat haze and atmospheric turbulence is reduced to a minimum.
Again, what a great set of pictures folks!!
Rom, yer killing that kit lens. Nice job!!

I didn't know AA had an A380 :wink:
Great edit Eric.
Actually, it is a 747 made out of nanomorph mimetic poly-alloy (liquid metal) which can transform into any shape.
I sold my older version of the f4 300mm and got the newer AF-S model with the Nikkor TC it's the set up that Randall Johnson uses and I know why he likes it. It's totally insane AF and sharpness. the 420mm helps too. WINQuote:

[Edit] Damn...just found out it left....oh well...
