Hi all I haven't posted much on the forum as lifes been a bit hectic recently. I managed to get out yesterday with my new toy the RF 200 - 800mm and my R6II, for once in what seems ages the sun decided to come out . These are full frame shots without cropping and no post processing Chimpy.

The swan shot was f9. 1/2500th sec, ISO 640 @ 800mm

The shell duck was f11. 1/2500th sec, ISO 2000 @ 539mm.

Hi Ron,

Two excellent images to showcase your new tech (and talents!) - that's certainly an intriguing lens (I must remember not to mention it to Karen... ).

Looks like you've got yourself a winning combination there - great OOC shots of beautiful creatures - looking forward to seeing more of your results.

Thank you for posting...

(PS. This 'sun' thing you mention sounds very interesting too - I'll keep an eye out for that!).

Cheers Phil, it nice to hear I've still got it it is indeed a great bit of kit, I'm sure if you grovel and beg enough Karen will let you buy a new lens fingers crossed

Apparently Phil, the big yellow ball in the sky does occasionally come out to play not as often as I would like

Hi Ron,

Actually, Karen is the zoom freak so I need to keep her calm when we talk about such matters - not the other way round...

Also - breaking news - we have clear skies and sun!!

(But also therefore - frost... ).

My wife told me to run an errand today, and I took the long way home just to catch the storm clouds east of Sacramento, CA. For some reason I feel like I shouldn't like this photo of a box, but I really do like it. My college creative writing instructor told me to delete any paragraphs that I liked too much. Does the same rule apply to photography?

Hi Steven

An interesting slant - 'delete things you like too much'. (We can think of a few instances through history where that concept would have gone spectacularly badly - perhaps your creative writing instructor should consider applying the principle to their own pet theory?... ).

Anyway, we're pleased you kept that idea separate from your photography and went with your instinct - we really like this too!

Plenty here to attract and fascinate the viewer - and the B&W treatment is spot on. Thank you for (keeping and) sharing...

P&K

We've had a lot of rain and cloudy days so it was nice to get out just to see if any birds were along the riverbank near my home. A pair of mottled ducks, a brown pelican and a blue heron. I wasn't really prepared for when the pelican decided to fly but managed to grab one quick shot; a challenge with the 800 f/11 on my R7.

Hi Jeff,

That's terrific action shot in what must have been very demanding conditions - speed-noise balance in low light/ artificial lighting (and not forgetting actually tracking/ focusing on the fast moving subject!).

Thank you for sharing...

Hi Chris,

A terrific set of shots to showcase your tech (and talents!). Finding/ tracking the subject (particularly with sudden movements) must be a real challenge with the R7 and RF800mm combo (@ 1280mm) so respect is due. We can also empathise with 'a lot of rain' (though it's now turned cold/ frosty... ).

Thank you for sharing...
