My Tamron 18-400 Goes To Florida
Feb 16, 2018 10:10:08 #
I just returned from the Tampa area. The first 4 photos were taken with the Tamron 18-400. The last photo was taken with a Sigma 150-600 Contemporary. My Nikon D5500 was used for all the photos.

deanfl , these are nice zoo shots. If you don't mind I would say that the feet of big cats have been cut specially of the cheetah. I hope you will watch that animals feet are not cut this way. Your cheetah shot would have been great if his feet were showing fully.

Thank you for viewing and commenting. I will consider your suggestion on feet crops for the future.

Your comment about the lion made me laugh out loud...

Also appreciated your comment since I am new to photography. I was thinking how amazing that shot was and would never have noticed the lack of feet if you hadn't pointed it out. And you are right that feet would have made this shot even more fantastic than it already is.

Had a flashback on that one - my wife criticizing the prom and wedding pictures; "You didn't get the shoes!"

The 18 - 400 does a decent job here. I have the same lens and find it quite nice for most of my shots. I agree with others that cropping out the feet degrades what would have better photos.
Thanks for posting this great series. Larry
