Personal Challenge

Once in a while, I'll challenge myself to go out and shoot with only one body/lens combo. Today it was my a7rII and 100-400mm.
I'm ALWAYS a tripod shooter, but should add that these are all handheld just to see what could be produced.

Excellent set.
Thanks Jim. Just got to get out there and do it from time to time, eh? 😎

Good exercise. I do similar from time to time, but use one of my prime lenses. You did quite well.

I don't use primes since my Navy days circa 1965 so find zooms serviceable today...

Ah come on, how much challenge is there with a 300-mm range? 
Just teasing, these are beautiful shots and show the versatility of that lens. I'm sure many folks don't even consider for close-up.

Well, here's another solution to inspire creativity. Simply pick one focal length on any of your zooms and stick with that for a whole day.

So, pick a prime focal length? My point was that a quality zoom can produce images that are worth viewing, regardless of focal length.
