\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t use really long lenses very much. \u00a0I don’t do much sports anymore, and my big mammal wildlife days seem to be be in my rear view mirror as well. \u00a0I do however love the compression effect of big lenses. \u00a0I recently picked up a sweet old Nikkor \u00a0400 f 3.5 IF-ED manual focus lens for just that use.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The rule goes something like this, the longer the lens the more compression affect. \u00a0I shoot the D7000 a lot and being a DX \u00a0sensor camera my new 400 will be the equivalent of a 600!!! \u00a0 That plus the fast wide open aperture of f 3.5 make for a very exciting optic for separating the foreground from the background. \u00a0This is one of my favorite techniques from the old bag of tricks. \u00a0It a great way to do a visual change up while maintaining the same relative position to the subject. \u00a0Another example below.<\/p>\n

Always use your lenses to give you the visual effect your looking for. \u00a0Remember telephoto glass is not just for bringing things closer in the frame. It can make a big difference in how they appear as well!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
