Went back into my archives to find a favorite to post for the picture of the day. This was shot a couple of years back using every bit of length I could get out of my lenses. That meant my Sigma 100-400mm f/4-5.6 at 400mm plus a Sigma 1.4x extender while being shot on a Canon 40D with it's 1.6x crop factor. This gives a 35mm equivalent length of 896mm. Taken on a very clear and bright fall night at f/8, 1/350 sec using ISO 400 using a cable release and mirror lockup. The RAW image was processed three times, once for the shadows, once for the mid-tones and lastly for the highlights and them combined in Photoshop CS3.
It's still one of my favorite images.
Enjoy!
