do you mind me asking what your job is? I need to get a job and if you have the ability to get a 300mm 2.8 it's good enough for me

So this is how you convince your wife, that you should spend over 1k on some particular L lens? :lol:

She's beautiful i must say and you captured her well.

I've read your previous posts describing your wife...how supportive she is in your acquisition of top shelf glass and all. I gotta say a glimpse of that personality comes across in these images. Easy going. Relaxed. Natural.

How far were you? I've taken photos with a 135mm and 200mm but I trying to get a feel for the 300mm distance.

Best Regards


Steve

Thank you very much for your kind comments. My wife is unique and special. I was about 130 feet or so, this is a guesstimate
