Photographed with a Nikon D90 and an AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6 G lens. I've owned two of these lenses and sold them because their performance beyond 200mm was not that good. Yet for the price you pay (very small) and their portability (very lightweight) they are worth having if you can deploy them between 70 and 200mm only. They are not the sturdiest of lenses but they're better than nothing.

This photograph dates from February, 2012. It was one of those 'let's see what happens' efforts which worked out better than anticipated. I used a Nikon D90 with an AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G lens at full stretch (not a setting where it excels: it's performance is usually poor beyond 200mm). Aperture was f/7.1; speed 1/3200. Elsewhere I have remarked on how difficult it is to repeat a photograph due to factors like different light, forgotten camera settings, mistaken perspective; in this case it is impossible because the tree has been felled. I doubt the picture would be half as attractive without the spindly twigs silhouetted in the winter sunset.
