…hawks, rockets, and other flickrs of fancy….

With the quick-release Bogen grip, it should be easier to shoot the Canon.

Thanks Victor1 for a very cool gift. I have to scoot now on a voyage. Will bring cameras….

  4. niiiiiiiiiiice piece of glass you got there!

  5. What lense is that and what one did you use to shoot this awesome shot?

  6. Wow, this is a ‘never seen ‘dat before’ to me. And a nice big honkin’ lense!!!..happy shooting! And have a great new year~

  7. Your making me envious…you got all the toys I want. Enjoy.

  8. is that a camera in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

  9. You’re welcome SteveMon! Sweet photo! I guess you need another plate already – one for the camera and one for the lens. The addiction continues… looking forward to another year of stuff ‘from every angle’ from Steve.

  10. ..we could not find people interested in_

  11. Todd: Just a guess, the pictured lens is a Canon EF 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 L IS USM, shot using the Peleng 8 mm lens.

  12. Exactly! Thanks for reading my mind while I was away.

    I noticed a double reflection off the Peleng lens… so I could see when the angle of the long lens face was reflecting the sunset directly into the fisheye.

  13. NICE PERSPECTIVE! It’s these types of left-of-center (in this case both figurative and literal) shots that make my day.

  18. That wouldn’t happen to be a nude beach would it?

    ;^)

  19. Wow I need one of those!

  20. I was standing there again when you made you comment…

    And this lens has become my workhorse for rocket photography. I have taken about 20,000 rocket launch photos with it. My open question is whether I need anything longer for my first trip to Africa, coming up… The fixed 500 and 600mm are classic, but the new Canon 300mm f/2.8 plus 2x teleconverter looks like the 600mm with similar MTF curves to boot.
