Hi All 👋 My entry for this week’s challenge, set by Anne of Slow Shutter Speed.
My catch-all lens is my Sigma 18-300mm zoom.
Anne said to take one lens for a walk; I went for a ride instead (hopefully, that still counts). For days out on the bike, my 18-300mm lens covers all eventualities — macro, through landscapes, to distant objects. A lot of our routes follow the canal networks in Scotland & I’m often shooting across the canal to far objects.
I modified a holster bag to fit my Klik Fix system on the handlebars & Snappy sits comfortably up front, ready for action. If I see something, I can quickly stop, grab snappy from the front, take the shot & be on my way again.
My chosen lens can give me a landscape shot with sheep in it or get me right into the field with them without climbing fences
It’s great for canal landscapes (canalscapes??? is there such a term; if not, I’m copywriting it).
Distant objects become much clearer.
Even wildlife that is reasonably close becomes much sharper.
A versatile lens, it works very well in a macro setting.
Some of my favourite shots were taken of distant hielan coos in a field across the canal; the final one with the calf & its mum is definitely one of my favourites.
