So I went to the Loch of the Lowes. Trying to get some half decent pics.
Chap there with a small setup (I jest)
Heavy tripod. Covered in Camo canvas wrap.
Wimberley gimball head. *The* thing for long telephoto lenses.
D300, with remote lead and an extra battery pack.
And the lens. 1.4xTC on the back of a 600/f4.
Sheesh that thing is big.
At a conservative estimate that is around 10K of kit, and aroud 500 quid per kilo.
The pictures were very good too.
