A few taken with my borrowed lens

Seeing as the sun was shining I thought I'd try out the 55-200mm lens I've borrowed, I'm quite pleased with the result there's nothing spectacular, but not bad, well for me anyway

Re: A few taken with my borrowed lens

Some great shots there C!

Try this: zoom in as far as you can and take a pic of something as close as you can without it going out of focus...

Re: A few taken with my borrowed lens

I was just interested in the results

Also, by zooming in as far as it'll go you should be able to take some nice portrait shots (zoom in and then move yourself back or forward to get the right amount in the shot). You could practice on a teddy bear The method 'should' give you a nice creamy background with the object nicely in focus

Re: A few taken with my borrowed lens

Yeah that's the sort of thing Christine - more like the 3rd pic though, where they is plenty of stuff in the background too.

Here's an example off the web:
