Quick nature walk

I had a very quick nature walk yesterday afternoon on yet another grey day and took just the the D500+300mm with me (no flash), I wanted to see how well the 300mm rendered images wide open (f4) on a day with flat light and I was not dissapointed.

The 300mm PF is a superb lens and proving itself an easy carry lens when out and about!

Lovely shots. Some people might argue that not much of that butterfly is sharp, but I love how that picture is defined by its shallow depth of field.

Thanks Lokatz,

The idea was to shoot wide open and emphasize the most important part of the subject (in this case the head/eyes/antenna) and let the rest fade away.

I know the 300 is not the ideal lens for this type of work but it works.
