200 mm lens + a Nikon 1.4 tele converter on a D3300 crop sensor camera = Approx 420mm focal length (I think) hand held at 1/500 sec balancing on a ladder (sadly no more)

Cheers

I heard it had run off to audition for Steps

Anyway it was only my Step ladder , my real ladder went upstairs

[Supra]

My best step-ladder ever was intentionally left in Japan!
I once had a telescope ladder, couldn't see sod-all through it!

Nice, quite smart these T-2s.

Used to see Hawk T1s there on weekend visits. 4th FTS pilot was a US exchange pilot. Nice shots.
