RE: "A Noisy Gull" - A Series of Closeup Photographs

in Photography Lovers2 months ago

Very enjoyable reading and captures.
Wanted to ask 1st thing, which lens did you use (400 or 600) but then read this part:

We did not have the snacks they wanted, but still they sat close by, screaming, almost demanding us to bring it snacks.

Still curious what lens it was - > 50mm maybe?..

PS
My babygirl confirmed - all of the photoset is stunning!

Thank you so much for the nice and kind words! I don't think I used the 50mm in this series, but I could have? I think I used my Tamron 300mm zoom lens. Luckily the lens is 70-300 so I used 70mm at some stage, I am sure of it. I was lucky that they got so close to us.

I possess a Canon 70-300mm (bad lens I use v. rarely), so I absolutely understand the potential of this focal length range. I hope Tamron edition is far better than my Canon! 😎 Cheers, and !PIZZA

Not sure how they compare, but the Tamron was a cheap buy (I only had a small budget way back in 2011 when I bought it) but it has held up all these years. Certain lighting then the quality is really bad (blue sky backgrounds mess with the image quality) but sometimes I get really nice photographs with it. Cheers!
