Re: PESO: Evening watch.

Very nice and a good example why rules (like never center a shot) need to be broken. My photosniper is collecting dust after I found a Novoflex which I couldn't afford back in the 80's. On 7/16/07, drew [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all... Just screwed my Tair 3S lens from a Zenit Photosniper

Re: PESO: Evening watch.

Thanks to everyone who replied, much appreciated. I did cogitate over the composition for some time and I did take a couple of 'thirds' type shots, but on the whole I thought the centred looked better balanced despite breaking the 'rules'. Oh yes, Brian, the Tair 3S is a 300mm f4.5 with an

Very interesting colours in that sky - almost looks like a smoky haze from a fire. I think it might work a little better as a panorama format with the top 25% cropped out. Perhaps also some Photoshopping to make the bird a true silhouette. What's the focal lenght of the Tair 3S? Cheers
