Oooooooo O! 


At one time I thought I might be able to shoot wildlife with my 500mm mirror lens. After trying I realized this was not realistic.
But the ring bokeh typical of mirror lenses would look really cool in shots of birds flying over water, so I faked it.
To create this image, which a single shot with a mirror lens could have done if mirror lenses were sharp, required two professional cameras, two RAW images in four layers, and about an hour fiddling around in Photoshop.

Thanks! It is a bit fake, of course, but I thought the effect was good.
