Hi!

This afternoon I asked my wife if we could see our daughter's godfather's house from our garden. That house is - according to Google Earth - about
6 km (linear distance) away from ours. She said that we could.

6 km??

I guess, I need a very special "spycam" for that shot. Wink

Here it is:

(From left:) Tamron SP 8/500; M42-Adaptall rear part; Soligor M42 2xTeleconverter; M42-EOS-adapter; EOS-NEX-adapter; NEX-3; Meike Viewfinder

I mounted the whole thing on a land surveying tripod and this is the full image:

I clearly can spot our friend's house.

Remember, those houses are approx. 6 km away!

Yes. We have quite a few houses around here that have those panels installed.

Pretty good, you can find the friend house but not NEX? Just kidding.

Did you use a tripod? Just curious.
