Some pics with my new lens

[brandon]

Yesterday morning I went and bought a Canon EF 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM lens. It was overcast here yesterday so I didn't take many pictures or at least any worth sharing. Today however it was a bit nicer out with the odd sunny break. Anyways heres the pics.......And I just gotta plug Canon's Image Stabilizer......all these pics were taken hand held....no tripod, no monopod.....just me getting a workout hoisting the 3lb lens....I'm sure Wulff knows what I'm talking about.

 

I should also mention my main target subject today was the Northern Harrier....with a few other species mixed in

Great shots Brandon, birds in flight is something I always wanted to capture. Those are awesome.

Nice Brandon.

You'll get use to it in short order. I owned one until I switched to the prime. Its a very versatile lens

I really like bird shots. And these are no exception. They are fantastic.
