WHAT FINALLY MADE UP MY MIND

While on my walk with Christine I was convinced I needed a longer zoom lens than the one I had when I saw this bird of prey coming down to land among the grass a far distance away. I managed to take a few shots but this is the only respectable one, enlarged several times, of the lot.
Thank you so much for all your views, comments and fav's - always appreciated.

It still turned out rather well, nothing can beat a long zoom though.

You did very well considering!

[Sue Cooper]

I feel the same when I see something like this and I only have my phone with me. You did well though.

This is a great capture. Judy imagine what greater zoom would have achieved.

[Joan Robillard]

Don't forget longer lens are heavier

We all get to know what our cameras can and can't do but one never knows what could be achieved!

Still a very nice capture!

Nice timing and capture

Have you noticed that however many lenses you get, there is always another one that would be nice to have? I like this shot, it works well despite enlarging it quite a bit.

Nicely captured, nevertheless

On the wish list then....that’s the trouble with just using a mobile fir photos...I would love to use a long lens but I would take people in street shots that wouldn’t know I was taking their photo. Well captured!

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of the bird and use of the camera tool.
( I limmet myself as there is nearly no limmet to lenses.)

Great timing Dione!
