I went down to the San Diego Zoo on Monday. It had been years since I went down there, but I am thinking it won't be years until I get back there again. There is so much to see there.
As I looped around the Zoo, one of the first stops on the path I took was by the Koalas. They had several but most were sleeping, but fortunately not this guy.
I was capturing a video of the Zoo while there, so all of my photos there were captured 1 handed. I would switch my iPhone that was on the DJI Osmo SE gimbal to my left hand and then pick up my camera with my right hand. I would adjust the zoom with my right hand to the focal length I wanted, and then raise it up to my eye and shoot. It worked out remarkedly well. I had the Nikon Z8 with the Tamron 50-400mm. That lens is super sharp, and gave me the range I needed. The lens is not super light, but it's also not super heavy. It's about a lb less then the Nikon 100-400mm if I recall correctly for reference.
The Horizontal image is almost 400mm and the 2 vertical are closer to 200mm for reference. Excellent detail and sharpness from the Tamron 50-400mm.
All comments are welcome,
Jim
PS. All of these are the same Koala, just different angles
