This winter storm is annoying - 2 boring subjects

[coastalconn]

I picked up a 300 F4 and all I want is some decent light. Instead the past few days have been rainy and windy. Hard to get a proper test when your shutter speed is too slow. I spent some time at the beach and then I found some Robins to crawl around with.. I'm digging the sharpness and the shallow depth of field. These are all with a Tamron 1.4x TC attached, shot wide open and cropped some..

Congrats on new lens. compared to your usual, these all seem kinda pastel or maybe subdued is a better word. And the 1st robin looks a little blue. Very sharp and love the depth of field.

If you find them interesting enough to photograph, then they're not boring.

Hope you enjoy the new 300! Looking forward to seeing what it's capable of! :thumbup:

Hopefully I will have some light to play with tomorrow and get some more vibrant colors.. I do agree with you Baturn, this lens does produce a different look...

Is this an older nikor 300 f4 ?? I have one and it is sharp as a tack.

Yes sir! I got it from KEH in Bargain grade. Unfortunately the A/M switch is jammed so I have to send it back. Will probably have to upgrade to an EX grade as there are no other bargains in stock... Unless of course you would like to sell yours to me cheap lol

LOL Did you see my "birds in snow" thread. There are some shots with this lens and a 2x Kenko pro 300 DG. Surprised me at the sharpness all things considered...
