Bored and wondering if I should see an analyst, I shot the stupid nest with the Canon lenses I had in my bag so you can see what each of them do for pulling in a shot.  I set each of my two zoom lenses at their extremes.  I suspect I was about 300 feet, line of sight, to the nest.  So, lenses and comments:

Don't worry, I won't spam you and I keep your email private. You are signing up for my about-once-a-month news letter that one person described as "an absolutely fabulous read". Thanx Mom! Be the first to know and make your friends jealous.

Nothing announces your photography skills better than making an entrance with your big lens on full display.  The bigger the lens, the better the photographer.  But what does all this heavy glass really mean to you?  How much length do you really need to satisfy your drive to make art… or at least take a picture of those beautiful mountains and the valley below?  Here are some comparison shots I took with a few lenses I had in my bag the other day.

Regardless of your camera or sensor size, these pictures accurately depict the relative perspectives of different focal length lenses.  To understand what sensor size does to perspective, click here for my blog piece to see the difference.

I was visiting a well known eagle nest early May along the Susquehanna River where three eaglets had just hatched a few weeks before.  As I pulled up along the road to view the nest, the one parent hanging out there saw me arrive.  What did he do?  Take off!  Get out of there!  This was a great opportunity to wreck my day.  So I set up my equipment anyway and waited for one of them to come back.  And I waited…. and I waited…. The dad finally did return for about a 5 minute rest so I grabbed a profile shot or two.

I shot these cows and pastures with the 24-105mm lens near the Susquehanna River.  I am not good at landscapes and these scenes looked really great before I snapped the shutter.  Oh well, gotta keep practicing and learning.
