It's very rare for me to shoot with a long telephone lens, but this image was taken with the 70-200 zoom. This is the image I was talking about in the Salterstown Beach post. It's taken from the same spot as the image in that post but as I said with a telephoto lens. I could not remember how to take the 24mm lens off the camera cause its that long ago now :-)
Again this was taken early in the morning looking across Dundalk Bay towards Carlingford and further on The Mourne Mountains, Co Down. Theses two images are going to cost me a lot of money me thinks. It's a long story but lets just say a got a flat tyre on my car and then damages the special wheel nut on the alloys. The car will have to go the garage and will have to either drill the nut out or take the whole hub off the car to remove the lock nut. Either way it's going to cost me. Oh well I will have to take the wife's little car now to go back over to Salterstown on Monday morning. The children will enjoy the walk to school ?
The things we do for our Photography !
This is one of those examples where less is more. I love the striking sky, the different shades of grey across the sea. I'm in love with this image !
ReplyDeleteThe layering of clouds and mountains. I am continually amazed by your B&W photos.
ReplyDeleteReally, you do not shoot with a telephoto often? I am now curious about the lenses you do use.
Too bad about your car. Repairs are always costly.
Thanks for your comments Rob.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question - What Lenses do you use?
On the Canon 5D is use the TSE 24mm f3.5L most of the time with a change to the 24-70mm f2.8L when the 24 does not suit. On the Canon 1D mk3 I use the 17-40 f4L lens all for my Landscape work.
