Details of October with a Tele Zoom Lens

October came with all the beautiful colors of fall. The weather was finally gorgeous today after days of clouds and rain, the sunny weather brought out the brightness of yellows and red. Usually I gear up with a macro lens for details but today I decided to try the Tele-Zoom, EF 70-200 f4 L to see how that works.

 This lend gives quite a nice bokeh but to work it for details is very different compared to a macro lens with the closest focus distance of 31cm. The tele zoom needs 1,2m. The magic is to find object you can shoot at that distance and get enough space behind it to make the object stand out. For these pictures I used fstopes between 4 and 5.6, played a little more with the ISO speed to make sure I get a shutter speed fast enough to fight the wind playing with my objects.

 All in all I'm pleased with the results I could get, like the two images below.
