I just purchased an Olympus Zuiko 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 ED Lens. This is definitely in the lower to middle end for Olympus four-thirds lenses but the reviews were good and the price was right. I was not disappointed. After a chilly trip to Wyalusing State Park on the border between Wisconsin and Iowa overlooking the confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississipi rivers I am a fan. First a few of my shots from this weekend and then a little more about this lens.
Fall colors in the fog
Damp cold morning but the fog was amazing. It will take me half the winter to finish processing the shots I took. I’ll be posting more of these later.
Black Rat Snake
As cold as it was it was amazing this guy was sunning himself. They are only found in the extreme southwest corner of Wisconsin so I was lucky to see him. I took this at about 4 feet at full 300mm zoom hand-held, so that tells you something about this lens. With my 50mm macro I would have been right next to his face. Not venomous but still not a good place to be…
State Park Trail
The colors here were just amazing. The fog reduces the background into an oil painting.
