Heart of Alpandeire

This photo was taken full out with the brilliant Nikon 80-400VR lens from half a mile away!
Who says it's not a sharp lens?!
I love it! :o)
(Please view at 'original' size. The point from which I took the shot is geotagged. The previous image was taken from the same spot using my 16-85VR.))

Such a wonderful jumble of houses. Voted

Just can't believe how sharp that is - great work

It's a beautiful shot, but I can't help wondering about no power lines or satellite dishes or aerials or the like. Is there still a place in the world where people don't have these things.

Great details and wonderful clarity in this image Chris. Wonderful patterns with the roofs and walls. "V"
Congratulations on getting this lens my friend, paired with the D300 it's excellent. The negative reviews of it are quite obviously wrong.

Excellent frame-filling composition with great atmosphere. v

such a crisp capture indeed, and the lens has a wonderful reach...that's a delightful jumble of houses that seem to spread out so organically without a hint of a rigid urban grid...V

Lens & camera + user technique obviously equals success!

WOW!!!
No way could I live like that...
Nice image with very nice detail of the houses and roofs...
Hank Vander Velde29-Sep-2011 01:21
Nice shot with the 80-400mm lens Chris. I agree that the 80-400 is a sharp lens; however, for wildlife photography I found it to be very slow. LOL
Jim Coffman29-Sep-2011 00:41
Wow, great vantage point for this great shot!!
Guest 29-Sep-2011 00:20
