Minneapolis Photographer Mitch Rossow presents daily photos of Minneapolis. Cityscapes, People & Perspectives: Mitch explains composition and techniques.
The first posted image from the great and glorious Nikon 500mm Reflex Mirror Lens. In one lap around the lake I took 200 pictures. Trying to hand-hold this beast is quite a challenge, it’s not heavy, it’s just hard to hold still enough to get it to work right. I have some ideas and will show them to you as I test them.
In the mean time, I wanted to show off this little monster I found. Ain’t he cute?
Also, I found another Minneapolis Photo blogger, or should I say another Mpls photo blogger found me? Anyway, her name is Kat Singer and she’s got some great work, check it out!

Congrats on the new lens, Mitch. Nice one, and I look forward to more!
You’re welcome, and thanks in return!
The lens sure has a great DOF to it. The various out-of-focus layers as seen in the branches gives a great feel to the image.
That’s a fantastic lens. It’s made the normally placid humble house sparrow look like the devil incranate.
