    Are telephoto shots scintillation limited?

    Have a look at this small crop of a telephoto picture: Doesn't look very pretty, does it? I can assure you, this is not a lens problem, this is not front or back focusing. It's the air. Have a look at another crop from the same shot: You can clearly see the distortion at the uprights in...

    Two boats

    I saw these two derelict boats by the side of the road on Isle of Mull and I immediately new I had to stop to take a few pictures.

    A little noisy bird took up its residence in a tree just next to my house. It is quite loud! I cannot really see it and I know very little about birds. Can anyone recognise it from its sound? https://youtu.be/WJk-Riq-Ptg

    Life in Scotland

    Here it is. My first attempt on a semi-regular picture thread. As someone pointed out to me, the usual, ordinary things around us are not necessary ordinary for people from across the world. A typical house in Scotland might be quite different from a typical house in the USA, or, even more so...

    Tamron 150-600 now, or wait for Sigma contemporary?

    I'm more and more seriously thinking about getting a nice telephoto lens for my D7100. The obvious choice is the Tamron 150-600. I have seen a lot of great pictures in the "post your Tamron 150-600 shots" forum and I like them a lot. I am also aware of a few glitches (AF problems and freezing)...
