Wow that monument is amazing. What is it about?

It's called the Padrão dos Desoubrimentos ....
https://padraodosdescobrimentos.pt/

It's basically Portuguese for "the Discoveries", where "Discoveries" are places that have been colonized and exploited.

It's a semi-controversial monument to the navigators of 500 of Portuguese colonialism.

 

Buy on AliExpress.com

Speaking of monuments, I wanna visit this one on some weekend this summer (not my pics):

Just love the setting between the trees and all.

"The monument was constructed between 1838 and 1875 to commemorate the Cherusci war chief Arminius (in German, Hermann) and his victory over Rome at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 AD."

@DAiDEViL my buddy wants to buy a camera for one pretty specific purpose: his son plays football, tennis and stuff, and he'd like to have some memories. his budget is around 500€, used of course. so a telephoto zoom + a body is what he needs at first.

my first idea was a tamron 70-300 vc + an old workhorse nikon body like d300s or maybe a d700. i checked mpb.com and even with their pretty high prices it would fit within the budget. any better suggestions?

You know more about gear than I do.

But I 2nd this.

Perhaps some Canon would work just as well, depending on what he prefers.

 

[s4tch]

he's got no preference, but i dunno shit about canon bodies or lenses... i remember my nikon 70-300vr though, and the tamron is told to be very similar, just sharper at the long end, where the nikon is a bit soft. i also know the d700 pretty well as my luthier buddy ( https://www.instagram.com/guitar.clinic/ ) still uses one, it's a terrific camera. if i wouldn't mind the weight and bulk i'd love to use it for family stuff. full frame semi-pro dslr on a budget, it must be a great experience.

btw tamron sold the same lens for canon mount too and they have basically identical measured performance, so i'll try to read about canon bodies a bit:

Btw, one of my favorite shots from a safari I was on some years ago.

A lion catches our stationary jeep from in the brush right before he lunges after us and

we peel out of there
