The end of the summer...

As I've posted the same "End of the summer" topic twice, I am replacing the boat with this nice landing bird:-)

Thanks!I meant the boat scene. However, this is a very nice capture.

wow, excellent shot! really amazing, could you possibly tell me what lens you used for this beautiful capture?

[ecobo]

I've used a Pentacon Prakticar 500/f5.6 lens, at f8 (not sure) on a 20D body.
I've sold this lens a couple of weeks ago and now I regret to have done it. This lens is a real telescope and I've sold it only because of its weight - it is ~4kg of glass and steel :-)

What a great capture you have here. Love the colors. So that lens is really heavy....4kg.....

[ecobo]

Thanks, Leorooster :-)

Wow, what a beautiful shot! Love the colors and the haziness to the picture, and those moving wings.

:cool: Cool shot. It almost has a strobe look. The wings and tail feathers, composition light and bokeh all add up to nice photo.

Gorgeous photo - I really like it. One of the more original birdie photos I've seen lately.
