The Christian Photographers on Facebook weekly photo contest took a summer vacation, but resumed in September. The first contest theme after the hiatus was “Lenses,” and we were invited to submit images that showed off the capabilities of our favorite lens. Or lenses, since serious photographers often have several types of lenses on hand. I own two lenses, both of professional quality, but there is always room for one more lens in my kit, even if not in our budget! I could go on about lenses and cameras, but those are just tools for capturing an image. Good photography involves technique, creativity, and opportunity, and the equipment may actually be the least important of these.
But what about the contest? Here are some photos I shot with a Canon R7 fitted with a Canon RF 100-500mm zoom, maxed out at 500mm. All of these were handheld shots; I submitted the first two for the contest, and include the other two just for your interest.
