50-400

For this post I am talking about ( yes I know its again I have done this a few times LOL)
my newest lens the Tamron 40-500MM lens which I am finding I make sure is in my camera bag.

Actually in my current camera bag its a bit of a squeeze, so when my wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas I told her the model camera bag I wanted, and she agreed so I ordered it and do have a new camera bag that it will fit better into, but of course I have to wait till after Christmas to use it, which isn't a problem as I am not getting out taking photos much if at all at the moment.

These shots were taken recently while I was waiting for my Grand daughter to get out of school and I took a stroll down by the water.

This first shot taken at the widest range 50 MM and you can make out the Butlers flat Lighthouse and jus to the left off centre a fishing boat

Now for this shot I turned the camera to APS-C mode so even though I say 400mm in the description with APS-C mode it is actually 600mm and shows the lighthouse quite clearly

Butler Flats Light is a sparkplug lighthouse located in the outer harbor of New Bedford, Massachusetts, at the mouth of the Acushnet River.
It was built in 1898 by the United States Lighthouse Board, it is the only known caisson lighthouse designed by a marine architect. The light was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Butler Flats Light Station on June 15, 1987.

I read an article from 2016 that a private owner had bought it and wanted to make it into a Bnb, but not sure that ever came to be as I couldn't find anything else about that

This next shot is of the boat you may not have been able to see in the first shot a commercial fishing boat heading back into the port, taken at 400MM
