Architecture at 1 Mile Picture Architecture at 1 Mile Picture

With 1200mm of focal length, a huge amount of distance is necessary for any amount of a building to be included in the frame. These buildings are about 1 mile away. Heat waves from the city caused a serious amount of distortion in this image.

Helicopter Picture Helicopter Picture

This helicopter flew over the Hudson River while I was testing the Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6 L USM Lens. It looked like a good subject. Had I more time, I would have change the shutter speed to about 1/500 to get more motion blur from the blades.

A portrait shot at 1200mm. This was a clear day so I was using a manual expsoure. She was walking toward me, so I was using AI Servo AF and burst drive mode.

City Buildings City Buildings

Straight city buildings are unforgiving of distortion and a not-level framing. The Canon EF 1200mm f/5.6 L USM Lens does its part well.

Long Distance Portrait Long Distance Portrait

Although this is not even close to a full body portrait, hand signals were required for communicating at this distance on this windy day. I love the OOF (Out of Focus) buildings created by the 1200mm lens.
