    Hey guys. Been awhile for me. Here are two recent shots.

    Canon 40D, 300mm f/4L IS...

    They're both lovely shots. I especially like the Ringbill with his "catch of the day".

    Good to see you again John. Nice work!! How are you liking that 300mm? It's high on my list and I think it will be my next big photo purchase.

    I really like this lens. It is super sharp, and not too big. The built in lens shade is a huge plus, and the IS, even though first gen is pretty good. I miss the extra reach of the 100-400, but not the weight.

    Thanks!

    Thanks!

    Great captures.... The gull seems a bit perplexed on how exactly to start on his meal... Always nice shooting around dinner or breakfast time... Makes for some interesting subjects to go with the good light...

    Nice shootin' and welcome back. Gotta love that 300mm f/4L IS!

    I especially like the first shot in the second set.

    Re: Ringbill and Egret With Snacks!

    `Holy cow!

    Look at all these replies. I am so sorry guys, I didn't get any notifications...

    Thanks for all the feedback guys.

    Loupey: I LOVE that lens! Having not used a prime that long before it is taking some adjustment to get good results. Zooming means walking...

    I do miss the extra 100mm of the 100-400, but I am looking at a 1.4x teleconverter, so that will help out. I also invested in a monopod.

    Hopefully more to come!
