[Capture Challenge] All the way out there

As the poll is over now we will start new series of capture challenges.

Based on the poll the rules for this capture challenge is really simple:

Get a lens with at least 100mm focal length (FF equiv) and get shooting :slight_smile:

Got this one near the end of last week when the comet was very visible.
There was also a convenient amount of satellite traffic and a meteor shower… Not sure exactly which of those is sharing the frame with the comet here.
Tamron 70-300mm (at 300mm), and this one may have been edited in dt 4.6, unless this is my bad Snapseed edit.

Taken today at 150mm (300mm FF equivalent) on my 14-150mm superzoom. It’s quite soft at the long end, but this beautiful bird would have been just a dot with my usual standard zoom. That’s the beauty of a superzoom: you’re taking wide-angle landscape shots and then suddenly you see some wildlife that needs a telephoto.

I managed to get the moon as well, because it’s just… Well… There.
I had to wait quite a while for it to come up over this hill, but managed to get a series of shots.
I edited this early this morning in dt 4.6, heavy crop… I believe this was perhaps with the 50-200mm at nearly 200mm.

This has been a true challenge for me; I typically shoot 24-35 mm (FF equiv), and sometimes 50 mm.

Here is a photo from Santa Fe, NM. Shot at 50 mm (100 FF eq.), f/8, 1 s, at 200 ISO.

Bird in flight…

Yeah. 140mm just ain’t up to it.
Adding that to the growing list of things I really should know by now.
Pretty sky though.
