Something old...

How was I able to take this at 200mm?

Excellent focus and dof Elke, fave!

[Shanne]

great focus and details

@grizzlysghost Thank you Aaron!! but now the answer to my riddle ;-)

[Aaron]

I was going to go with "from your helicopter" but I wonder if you used a doubler with a 100mm prime; that would shorten your focal distance allowing you to get closer to your subject; thus taking advantage of the outstanding dof that being close to your subject creates. Naaa... I will go with the helicopter! ;)

[Elke W.]

@grizzlysghost Nope.. All I own for now is a DSLR with two lenses with UV filters on them (to protect them)..... the solution is much "easier" LOL
@shanne Thank you! and glad you're back with us Shanne!

[Aaron]

Darn, I really thought I had it with the helicopter! :) Well, my final guess is that you are standing on something; perhaps the back of a cow :)

[Shanne]

nice handy stile or fence to stand on?

@grizzlysghost @shanne Nope I had my two feet firmly on the ground and my 2 1/2 year old holding my left hand... If no-one guessed tomorrow, I'll reconstruct the shot :-P

It was laying on the ground

[Karuna Markham]

great shot! I love the colors in this!

[Gary]

Ha! You've grown to be 20 feet tall, right! :-) Cool shot!

[Ron White]

Elke - Love the shot and...... I think the post is not upright, rather, lying on its side in the grass.

[Lyn]

spectacular composition. . .but it doesn't look to me like it is lying on its side in the grass, either, so I'm going to wait for the reconstruction!

[Scott Kennedy]

Good shot...looking forward to the anwser.

[Paul Myers]

@grizzlysghost I was going to go with her straddling the wires connecting to the post, but I see that's not right either.

[Sheila]

Very nice over head view!
