Hi Steve,
A beauty of Soleil as usual! You lucky grandpa you! :-)

How close were you to the fence as the fence shouldn't have shown in the shot at all if you were close enough, like lens almost touching the wire? And a wide open or nearly so aperture?

I shoot my grandson playing baseball and my lenses have been 100, 200, 280, 400, 560 and 800 and we never see any fence at all when the lens is against the fence. Not the glass, but the outer ring maybe touching the fence wire. Or it's the fence beyond the players at the far side of the field, then only if you seriously look for it.

So how close were you and roughly what aperture? What lens?

Hi Ted, this was taken from a distance across a small pool and thru two pool screen fences...with a Nikon D70 and a 300mm lens... medium aperture, and I was a couple of feet from the closest pool screen...

my leica M7 was nearby    ;-)

thanks for you comments...

Steve
