My parents arrived last night from their trip to Panama, which unfortunately I was unable to go, and along with the UV Filter I had asked them to buy for me they brought me a new Nikkor 70-300mm G lens.
To test the range of this lens I went over to the terrace in my house and took this shot of the seesaw in the children’s playground across the street. This shot was taken with the focal length of 300mm and my tripod since the lens doesn’t have the VR, camera shake reduction technology from Nikon, that my 18-55mm has. I attempted to take some shots with the lens by simply holding the camera but they didn’t come out since my hand is a bit shaky and despite my tries at stabilizing the camera it would still blur the shot.
Since I don’t have a remote control for the camera then I set the timer to 5s to take the steady shot and this works so I’ll be sticking to it until I can buy the control.
I have also taken and posted on Flickr a couple of shots from the playground, using my 18-55mm lens, that I took today. All the images have been retouched in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and using Kubota’s actions as well as other presets that I got for Adobe Lightroom.
