La Perouse - the statues

What a great morning - I had to leave after the fish and chips to go for a mountain bike ride, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I took the 300mm along as I thought Leigh might be there and I could return it, however it ended up being my challenge for the day - almost all my photos were with the 300mm. This allowed for some fantastic DOF.

All C&C welcome

I like them all.

#1 is the strongest, followed by the others in order.

Justin.

You'll have to get yourself one of these lenses - these are great shots (although #2 isn't quite up there with the others for me because the background is a little distracting)

Great bokeh as you said and I can see why you shot mostly with it, even with how heavy it is. For me #2 is the weakest as the background overpowers the statue in focus. The bokeh in #3 and #4 are so sweet.

Those are just great :shock: I'm just a sucker for creamy bokeh :oops:
I predict that these shots will also be guilty of making me browse ebay and trade forums day and night for a bargain on the 300m(without being able to actually buy one :oops: )

Nos 1 and 2 are excellent. Great use of DOF.

I love the first few... not sure about the last one, you might have gone too far...

Definately getting some lens lust for something in the 300mm range :lol:

FAntastic work Justin - beautiful use and experimentation with the DOF!! It'll be a grave old day when you give up photography, but hopefully that won't happen til your pushing up daisies :)
