New camera!
 
My lovely wife managed to wrangle me a new Nikon D90 for x-mas! It came with a 55-105mm lens and seeing how I shoot a lot of dog sports I searched and found a 75-300mm Nikkor lens on Craigslist for cheap! Here is one of my first test shots. The top of the pole is 50 feet and I was standing about 25 feet away from it with the lens at 300mm, hand held in early morning light. Shutter priority set at 400 with -0.7 exposure compensation. Can't wait to try it this weekend on some agility dogs! :drum:

I had a feeling you might like that! :ha: What do think about that big chunk of wood missing from the cross support? Is that an issue that I should call the power company about? This pole is about 4 feet from the rear corner of my garage.

Mitchel, I anticipated you going to the dark side. I hope you enjoy your new camera but hope you'll still talk to us on the other side! :P

There is some truth to that with Cannon having white lenses and Nikon having black lenses! :0520:

I think we should have a contest to guess the age of that pole! ;) I'll guess with 1953! There should be a tag on it with the year, though maybe SCE doesn't do that. :2689:

I would guess pre 1929 since that's when our house was built. It sits between the houses on two streets. Basically it sits at the joining corner of 4 properties(4 backyards) Technically they own a 3 foot easeway between the properties, but if they had to replace the pole I'm not sure how they would get to it. Maybe a giant crane parked on the street reaching over the homes?

On the "other" side, you could go up to 1200mm f/5.6 if you've got the money! :D
They rarely come up for sale, but there is one available! Used Canon | Super Telephoto 1200mm f/5.6L EF USM | 2527A001

I think there are only about 10 of those babies in existence and Sports Illustrated owned 2 of them, I believe.

Now you got me curious to see the pole from a distance.
