1000mm and 1/100th or 1/60th handheld?!

I don't believe it!

Sorry for making you dought, but it's true. I've been shooting big-bore guns since I was little and I do long range shots for fun. When you pack around a 10lb gun all day you get used to the weight. I support the lens like I do my gun at the front and use my left thumb to focus. Everything balances perfect. I could take more clear photos if I used my tri-pod or monopod but I don't like packing them into the woods on hikes.

hehe, it was not so much a doubting "I don't believe you' but a surprise *i want a proof* 'don't believe you'!

well..well done!

Well, usually nothing impresses me...but I'm totally bowled over, impressed...you name it! WOW! Even focused on the eye on the Cardinal shot....hat's off to you and all that

(nice shots too)

It's not just the "1000mm hand held" that impresses me, but how you got there. The 50-500mm with a 2X?
"Can't be done" I always say!

On the other hand the 500mm prime with IS and a 2X, not easy, but doable.

I'm impressed.

Wow you must carry some real 'guns' if you can do this lol
Amazing!

Well done for very clear shots HH@1000mm, though I would have liked to see a little more bird in the first shot. Maybe without the branch in-front of him, but things aren't always that easy with wildlife lol. 2nd shot is a bit hot in spots and not an angle/perspective that does anything for me, all that said they are still amazing shots considering the focal length Vs shutter speed handheld.

Sugarman · 2nd of February 2007 (Fri)

Very nice work. esp. for handheld!

blonde · 2nd of February 2007 (Fri)

very nice but i have to wonder why? why not up the ISO a bit or open up the lens to get better speed? i mean, this is impressive but you could have gained more sharpness by adjusting the F stop or ISO.

CyberDyneSystems · 2nd of February 2007 (Fri)

He's @ f/13 on the bIgma with a 2X wide open..
Agree on the ISO though

forgot about that one

and yes, i will stick by my comment about the ISO...

Linuxboy00 · 2nd of February 2007 (Fri)

Yep, I can't do much about the f/13 that all she will do captain!
I could have gone with a higher ISO, will try different things tomorrow. Sun is starting to go down and losing light fast. Will be heading to a wildlife refuge tomorrow, I might be able to get a shot of a deer or two, and possible some ducks/geese.

That is indeed impressive! I'm pretty sure I couldn't do it!

cheers
