    fabulous image – and this is exactly the kind of detail I want to capture with a telephoto – I’m starting to think seriously about this 70-300mm of yours! I wonder was this taken at the 300mm?

  • Mukesh Srivastava replied

    Yes, it was shot at 300mm. Other camera details: Nikon D70S, 70-300mm Tamron, f-5.6, S-1/250s, ISO-200, Hand Held.
    If you need more zoom, just add tele converter 1.4x.
