Strange,
Watch out for those extenders, they can ruin the photo. If you are talking about a teleconverter, your camera may not be able to auto focus. With telephoto, it always comes down to how big is the front lens is. More light = bigger image. That 2000mm lens I talk about is a nightmare to use, not enough light coming in.

Rob -
Nope, I was a bit confusing, the Cheerio Machine has gone away and has been replaced. This is the replacement lens, the one you saw at the Arboretum, the Tamron 200-500mm.

Thanks for the comment,

Balcony view. Interesting construction pics, I like this industrial imagery.

So, the Cheerio Machine has a hold on you. Always a compromise and trade off.

They are very cool images - hard, skilled guys at work but there is also a lot of interesting abstraction with all those dancing verticals. Nice composition and good work.

My longest lens is a Canon 100-400. I’m thinking of getting the 1.6X or 2.0X extender when the budget permits. I don’t get any enlargement effect from the full-size sensor on my 5D but an effective 640 mm reach could be fun.

I really like the depth compression. Just spent a bundle for a 17-40 L series, but now I’m itching to buy zoom.

Nice storytelling an reveal. Mitch. I like these bridge pix you’ve been doing lately. I get a glimpse of what’s going on, something I probably wouldn’t see otherwise, even if it’s virtually in my backyard.

It wouldn’t be the coolest job for me — don’t like heights! He’s welcome to it.
