They are not expensive and should be a good tool for these shots.Julio Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927595214961421525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-50867133429535104452011-10-15T20:18:12.410-06:002011-10-15T20:18:12.410-06:00The Pentax and a long lens is my only option if I ...The Pentax and a long lens is my only option if I want to keep the enclosure fence sufficiently out of focus in this situation. That works out pretty well most of the time, but low light is a challenge. I am usually shooting then at f4 or wider, and that means there is only 3 or 4 inches of sharpness on either side of the point of focus. Since my longest lens is a 135mm I have to resort to a 2x telextender, meaning I also lose a couple stops in the process. An actual 270-300mm lens would get me adequate DOF, so I'm keeping my eyes open for something in that range. I'd also be interested in a zoom, but they seem to be a little scarce in a price range I can live with.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00776670666673938282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-65376466862718871102011-10-15T19:03:52.818-06:002011-10-15T19:03:52.818-06:00Beautiful light in the last one, on the two small ...Beautiful light in the last one, on the two small cubs.Julio Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927595214961421525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423901.post-57945871045757261302011-10-14T19:43:58.989-06:002011-10-14T19:43:58.989-06:00I'm partial to the middle photo.
