    Met This Guy On The Trail
    First time I've seen a tarantula in Utah. He wasn't moving very quickly as it's getting a bit cold now. Photo was taken with my new Canon EOS 7D. This is the first photo posted from the camera :)

    For those who want to see every creepy, nasty hair on this critter, I uploaded a full-resolution version on the gallery: http://gallery.photographyreview.com...&size=big&cat=

    Looks like a big one!

    Nice detail. Please don't tempt me into upgrading when I have no plans to do so :)

    Unless I hear reports that the 7D is a greater improvement over the 50D than the 50D was over the 40D, I'm staying put for now.

    Besides, I think I'm over my initial infatuation with birds. At least until the spring migration returns :p

    You're in trouble, then. You know I upgraded from the 40D to the 50D and didn't really feel I gained much at all. That is not at all the case with the 7D. Auto focus seems to be significantly better - especially in AI Servo mode. And I'm comfortably shooting a lot of ISO 800 action shots. This camera is sweet!

    Sorry :p

    Sorry, but it's really tough to compliment a photo of the nastiest looking creature on this earth. That one would have looked better not so sharp. Ewww.
