I Just got an old Canon FD 500mm catadioptric lens. Putting it through it's paces.

The nearly full moon rising over a peak in the Sange de Cristo range. I shot this while on the ski hill. I took my 500mm catadioptric lens which is small but packs a punch with it's reach. The cool thing about shooting the Moon on the ski hill was; as the Moon rose higher I could ski down a bit to get it lower than the peak again. I wasn't limited to the one rise. I was able to angle my position on the hill and get it rising in the little crook on the mountain.

hanging out near the pond, I saw him while I was painting and rushed to my camera where I had an old Canon FD 500mm reflex lens mounted to my camera.

While I was painting the new house I was taking a break and saw a shock of blue fly by. He flew into the small shallow pond in the backyard and had himself a bath. I was able to snap this shot of him, getting paint on the lens since my hands weren't totally dry.
