I have my 300mm f/2.8 lens back, thanks to ACS (Advanced Camera Services), of Norwich, UK. Not only was the repair job handled quickly through their Pro Service (three working days) but they adhered to their email quote, price wise. Quite a feat since they hadn't even had the chance to inspect the damage when they gave it.
To check everything out, Nic and I visit Oare Marsh on the north Kent coast; a wildlife reserve. Not that I was in search of any, but the good weather gave rise to numerous opportunities for a spot of landscape shooting.
A super-telephoto lens isn't the first optic that springs to mind for photographing scenery, but it does give a different slant on things. The characteristic compression qualities found with long lenses can be used to good pictorial effect, such as with the yacht on The Swale, with the Isle of Sheppey in the background.
300mm f/2.8 AF-S VR Nikkor. 1/5000 second at f/2.8. Matrix metering. - 0.33 EV compensation. Monopod. ISO 160
