Took this in Orkney May 2016, was on the way back to the house and he was sitting on the fence outside the driveway. Sat the lense on the wing mirror of the van and bingo!

    I just looked up that lens… 😮

    That’s a nice cold splash of water every time I think about dabbling into photography! 😆

      I did a shoot day with Nikon when it was released, I nearly cried when I had to give it back. I love walking with my gear so the 500 PF would be perfect but you’re right it’s not a cheap hobby.

      That said, If you want to do it, go for second hand. You don’t need to spend a fortune to get decent gear. As long as you don’t abuse second hand gear you should be able to resell it for about what you paid for it, that’s if you want to upgrade or decide you don’t get on with it.
