wildlife with a telephoto is lame. 35mm f/2 is my style!

[ola.b]

this is probably my first and last venture into bird photography (i REALLY find it boring:angel🙂..

but, since I did it with my 35mm at f/2 I thought I´d share..

This poor soul hit our window and got knocked out. After a while, and after putting him/her/it back upright I shot a couple of snaps.. must´ve been one helluva surprise hitting that window..

I totally agree with your statement about shooting wildlife with a 35mm, Looking forward to your lion pictures 🙂

Great shot but you know you're gonna have to tell that story every time you show that picture...

Arquetipofoto...I don't think the window is going to have the same effect on the lion...😀😛

 

[ola.b]

well.. when a flying lion hits my window, the pics will be quite something regardless of focal lengths and apertures 🙂

35's are for wimps ... 12 is the way to go ...

Taken with my ~35mm equivalent Polaroid 195:

I was about 6' from a 5' water moccasin, hovering over alligator infested waters. Here is a picture of how stupid I was/looked.

2 recent shots with my X100, 35mm equivalent (OK, digital may be cheating)

The snake is a 100% crop, I was about 3 meters away:

I liberated this little guy from my mother's pool pump:

 

[ola.b]

wow!

I´ve started a whole new movement here!

My hat is off to monz if you were in the same room as the tiger.

Autofocus is highly overrated. Anyone can learn to snap to a 1cm focus depth on a minute moving target.

This is an old (well over 10 years) picture I shot of a morning dove that had made a nest in one of our hanging pots.
I know it's not digital because I only have a print of it. Don't know what happened to the negative. It was shot with either my FE or SRT-101. I'm thinking the SRT due to the bokeh.
