   By mistake I thought Saturday May 28 was day 150 but only in the evening I found out I was actually 1 day too early. So let me say I did a very thorough training the day before the real day 150 and here are some of the results.

1: I'm so pretty when my feathers sit right 

2: Let sleeping dogs lie

3: Anna, very confidently starting her 3rd horseback riding session

4: Annemaria, not so sure starting her 1st horseback riding session

5: Wise horses seek the shadow during a hot day

6: Wise men seek the shadow and some beer on a hot day

7: Mladen (Kiklop), inspecting an A7 series camera and thinking: "how can they get this small?" 

All A6000 + Super Tak 150/4

	I missed day 180 (totally forgot ) but day 181 there was an opportunity to make up and use my Sigma 180/3.5 telemacro with a dead mouse that was suddenly laying in our garden

	Day 250 was spent in Picos de Europa (North-West of Spain) on a 21 km mountain hike at high temperature and altitude. I was smart enough the carry water in stead of the 250 mm Telemegor, I was however dumb enough to carry my A7, the 16-35 ZA, 24-70 ZA and my travel tripod. Anyway I used all of them. The 250 Telemegor therefore in the Training Thread. It is not my favourite lens, 250 mm is neither here nor there (meaning too long or too short). Not the sharpest weapon wide open but f/8 does the trick if sharp(ish) is what you are after. Grass Camera Model: ILCE-7 Lens: Meyer-Optik Goerlitz Telemegor 1:5.5/250 V Aperture: f/5.5 Exposure Time: 0.006 sec (1/160) ISO: 100

	#1 really does look like it is moving! (Even at 1/800s) A very good effect and nice toning too. It think you've really got the hang of that lens

	Thanks Mike. It took some time to develop a feel for this lens. I am used to looking for photo opportunities at shorter FL, I just had to look farther away.
