Reef Point, Shorncliffe

No: this photo isn't a pano.

Once again I was caught out with just one do-it-all lens — my RF100–500, of course — and had to figure out how to capture this motor yacht heading for the open ocean from the sheltered waters of Moreton Bay.

My choice was to play by the rule of thirds and hope for the best.

Hi David,

Another wonderfully pleasing shot of an expansive (and gorgeously blue) scene.

We live in central England - about as far away from the sea as you can get in every direction, so images such as yours always capture our attention.

We love our RF 100-500 - it's such a versatile lens. Perhaps we'll pop down the local canal and see if we can replicate this shot (using brown)...

Love the Canadian Rockies but have not been back there for 20 years. The fireweed photo in front of Mount Burgess reminded my wife and I of the wonderful walk around Emerald Lake in Yoho. And the photo of Natural Bridge reminds me of the polarizer cover I lost in those rapids...

Bell 206L Helicopter​

I was hoping to shoot some birds in our backyard (once again no luck) when along came this chopper, returning from a session killing off fire ants.

Hopefully, the next time that I hear one approaching, I'll remember to use a slower shutter speed to blur the blades a bit. Thoughts on that, anyone?

Hi David,

Crikey - how big are the ants...

(I have no particular expertise/ talent when it comes to aircraft - or anything else - but I've seen fairly low shutter speeds cited - 1/200-320-400th for propellor aircraft and for helicopters >1/160th, or lower. If you do find the secret to success perhaps you could come back and let us all know... ).

Nice shot too!
