Hi Peter,

nice try.  Given the size of the Heron in the shot, I think even a 400
telybazooka wouldn't be enough firepower to really do the subject justice.
Probably something like a 600mm telehowitzer would be more appropriate,
possibly with a 1.4 or 2x converter.

BTW, did you use the VC meter for this shot?


Thanks for showing it


regards,
