These photos reminds me of Japanese Haiku poetry illustrations! Beautiful!
Thank you
Lovely photos. Is 200mm too short?
Thank you. For me it is :) but maybe it depends how far is the subject and its size
Nice pics!! Just a question... why would you not recommend a 200mm lens for bird shooting?
Thanks. it's too short. you will really need to be so closed to the bird maybe 3 meters to have a nice shot. the 18-200mm is my first telephoto lens. bought it 2007. last year i got tamron 150-600mm. and after 6 months i realized i could have save more time and effort if i had the tamron. since it's easier. and maybe at 10 meters depends on the bird size, you will get a nice sharp shot and using the same D80 DSLR i noticed even with low light the tamron does a good job. Its heavy thou. @the-sassy-owl
I love the balance of colours, they look like paintings!
Thanks. Yes. i did noticed it also.
Absolutely great!
They may lack resolution and sharpness of your Tamron 150-600mm, but the colors and composition are top-notch with that excellent overall impression @digitalis. Upvoted, resteemed & DPS.
Thank You. Yes the color compostion did surprise me.
Nice Shot
Followed :)
Thank You. will follow too
great photos!
