wow, great picture! I like the central in focus area with periphery out of focus... which lens and aperture did you use?

Oliver said...

Thanks guys. I think the composition could have been much better, but as I said: I was going for a pigeon.
Diego, did you know that you are exclusively complimenting pictures that I took with the Tamron 28-200mm? Maybe you should get a copy for yourself.
The settings are 200mm at f5.6.

Yes, now I remember I already asked you info about this lens for other pictures. I think those are great results for a so-called budget lens! And yes, I'm actually looking for a "travel" lens, but considering that my aps-c sensor is much more sensible to noise at high iso than your full frame, I'm wondering if I should look for a lens with wider aperture (or at least stabilized)... It seems, since I have been taking pictures, the quest for the perfect versatile lens is one of my biggest concerns (lucky me :-))

Yeah, it's a bit limited. But then again small and inexpensive. Let me know when you found the perfect versatile lens. I'm pretty sure you will always have to make compromises.
