Queen E Sunset

I wanted to start taking landscape photos from the top of Queen E since it is a high point in the city and close by. It meant using a long lens and I used my longest lens (80-400) which is supposed to be sharp up to 300mm. The end results required about 100mm in which case the 80-200mm would have been sufficient and a better quality lens. It was a comedy of errors..I started by using my daily settings instead of using my landscape mode. Which resulted in blurry images as it didn't have that lag after pressing. I eventually switched to my landscape mode at which point it got a little sharper. But the VR mode could have caused some blur and the focusing at the buildings instead of 100 yards in front of where I was meant the DOF was incorrect. Sigh...at least it was a cloudless night and the result couldn't have been any good anyway. Good chance to practice.
