All three British Minesweepers

Kyle Akin view map

This one picture sums up why I had to purchase a bridge camera to back-up the DSLRs.
While I rushed around with a long lens on the 7D and wider lenses back inside the holiday cottage,
my son Mike was simply able to zoom out with his Fuji HS10 and capture all three Minesweeper/hunters
as they passed under the Skye bridge in the one frame. Three weeks later after similar samples of
"wrong lens again " I have added a Panasonic FZ200 to the camera bag, now if I carry that as the
backup camera I can at least get an image from 25mm to 600mm.
Thanks Mike :-)

Very good shot.
If I need a wide angle shot when using my 70-200 , I take 2, 3, 5, shots whatever in a row and stitch them together, then crop the bit I want.
Works very well for me.
