Hi john,

This is the best TS photo I have ever seen. How come it was that close to you? Any hints?

Karl.

Hello Karl,

This is only about 20% of the full frame area, so it wasn't as close as it may seem.

I used a beanbag on the car window, and the Canon Image Stabiliser and autofocus made it an easier shot than it would have been with my old gear ! ( Pentax: nice enough lenses, but heavy, no IS, and no autofocus with teleconverters.)

John

Very nice!
Where did you take the picture? On the bridge?

I can't imagine how you handle the 600mm in a car!
