Silhouetting at Sunset

21st March 201510th October 2017Craig Rogers

I was wandering around the garden with the 300mm f/2.8 and 1.4x Teleconverter trying to capture some garden birds in the golden hour when I saw the sun setting behind a big old Oak Tree that we have. At 500mm the “lens compression” gives the illusion of the sun appearing larger than it is and the backlight the sun is creating gives the tree a nice silhouette. Personally, I think this type of photography is possibly one of the simplest and gives a powerful shot.

Edited photos from today’s Solar Eclipse

20th March 201510th October 2017Craig Rogers

I can’t believe how lucky we were in the Midlands this morning with the clear skies. Only right at the end did the clouds obscure the sun/moon combo which is why I’ve not got a 6th photo. You’ll notice that some of the shots are right down at f/40, never thought I’d be shooting that stopped down, but it seemed to work just fine. If you look at the first photo closely, you can see some dark Sun Spots.

This is one great thing with the Nikon D7100, it shoots at a maximum shutter speed of 1/8000sec which certainly helped today.

I got snapped taking snaps of the Eclipse

It’s not very often I’m the subject of the photo!

You may think I’m being a bit stupid here, looking straight at the Eclipse through the camera. However, as I had 2 filters (ND8 and Circular Polariser) attached and also had polaroid lenses in my sunglasses, it was quite dark coming through.

Testing the Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VRII

20th March 201510th October 2017Craig Rogers

I was out a few days ago testing my new 300mm f/2.8 VRII lens.

As you can see from the photos, it’s pretty sharp. Although a big lump of a lens you can hand hold it. More info on this great lens coming soon!
