We have been "playing" with some long lenses and thought we'd show off a little...

our pictures of Flatholme Lighthouse

The last picture was a real adventure. The lens is so long, IT is mounted on the tripod ... and because I still could not get it still enough I mounted the camera on a monopod.

This lighthouse is very hard to get to. We can see it every morning, when we walk the dog on the beach. It is on a little island in the Bristol Channel and you need to be able to walk some and climb some cliffs to be able to get to it. Needless to say, we can't do that. So a real long lens is the next best thing!
