Friends, fans, and family, meet my new telephoto lens!

I invested in a Canon 100-400mm L-series and after a short trial run in my backyard, I'm VERY glad I did! This lens is a gem! Here are some sample images from my short photoshoot. FYI there was ZERO post-processing of any kind done to these before uploading them. No cropping, no photoshop, nothing. I wanted to show what this lens does all by itself. Enjoy!!

 

Here's the lens itself!! It's a tank!

 

The photos of the birds below were done handheld (no tripod used) and I'm very impressed with the clarity at the low shutter speeds they were taken at (only 1/60 second for the robin and 1/250 second for the sparrow)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These two of Bandit were done on a tripod. The sharpness of these images is awesome, and coupled with the beautifully smooth bokeh they simply take my breath away (plus my doggy is pretty handsome). I love the color saturation of this lens. Like I said before, these are straight out of the camera.

 



 

Thanks for visiting!
