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!

Re: New camera!
I had a feeling you might like that! 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.

Re: New camera!
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

Re: New camera!
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.

Re: New camera!
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?

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

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

Re: New camera!
Nice pic Mitchel. I'd have to go to school to learn how to use that camera LOL
Now you got me curious to see the pole from a distance.
