Samurai Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Shot I took a couple of years ago in my front yard... Cool....which telephoto lens did you use?
ifly65 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Cool....which telephoto lens did you use? Thanks! A Canon 300 4.0L Aspherical lens with a Tamron 2x converter on a Canon 10D DSLR....oh yeah...and a tripod! The 10D has a pre-stage mirror lock up in BULB mode to reduce camera vibration. 'Shooting the moon' is a matter of underexposing.
mjmurphy926 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Thanks! A Canon 300 4.0L aspherical lens with a Tamron 2x converter on a Canon 10D DSLR....oh yeah...and a tripod! Great lens...I shoot MLS soccer with that lens on a 40D. About the minimum setup I can get away with for night sport shooting. Good thing the pitch is well lit.

ifly65 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Here's mine.....pic I took many years back: Love the blues in this photo...nice! It makes you 'look up'!
mjmurphy926 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Nice moon, I thought your shots looked crisp, you must have other L's too! Thanks...I also have a 200 f/2.8 L, but the lens I used for those other shots (except the A-Bay sunset) is the Canon 50 f/1.4 prime. I also the 100 f/2 prime. Those lenses are built exactly like the 200 L and every bit as sharp, but about half the price. Canon really makes awesome midrange primes. I thought about switching to Nikon when the D300 came out because I'm a sport shooter and the Nikon can shoot 8 frames per second vs 6.5 for the Canon 40D I use, but I don't think anyone else can match Canon's glass for quality per dollar.

edgematic Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Laptop and Desktop... And just a cool photo... Nice pool huh... Life sucks for some... A high pressure mist comes out of the rails (by the pool) to kkep you cool while laying in the sun... damn... The floor of the pool rises to double as a heli pad... It seems you are a yacht-fan too! I'm on yachtforums also... hehe. My recent favorite of Jake: Beautiful picture of your boy!
mjmurphy926 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Posted January 21, 2009 Wow Jake is so cute!!!!!!!!!!! Beautiful picture of your boy! Thank you both...He is fortunate enough to have a good looking mother...cuz he certainly doesn't get that from Dad!!
