My Travel Tuesday blog post this week is also an extra January Squares for Becky’s theme of Up.
A visit to Colpoy’s Bay for the sunrise saw multiple aircraft contrails crossing the sky. So I put a telephoto zoom on the camera and started isolating interesting clouds while avoiding the contrails.
This is my day 1 contribution to Becky’s October Squares on the theme of Kind.
It’s not the European Robin standing on my 600mm lens that is the one of a kind. It’s the one of a kind mix of camera equipment it’s standing on. The lens is an EBC Fujinon 600mm f/5.6 that has been converted to an Olympus OM mount. Out of shot, the lens is being supported by a home made gimbal tripod head. Built before any of the commercial gimbal tripod heads were available.

Some mornings it was possible to count 5 or 6 aircraft in the sky. If they were leaving contrails one option was to isolate the more interesting clouds with a telephoto.
