I'm still happy with my 100-400 lens after a trip to the water park!

It's been so hot here in Arizona that the chances for photography have been limited. We took a quick trip to Gilbert's Riparian Preserve this morning and I got a few pictures with my new lens. I'm still delighted with it! Not all the pictures are perfect . . . especially when the bird is flying . . . but the fault is mine, not that of the lens!

That is a great lens. I don't know if we ever get that 'perfect picture'. But as long as you get closer to it each time you shoot you're doing great!

Really great shots, the lens does produce fine images!
Thanks! They’re much better than I could ever get with my old lens.

Nice catch on the Green Heron. I like the reflections.
Thanks. They don’t like to pose as much as the Egrets!

Glad you are happy w/o the lens. Birds in flight are not the easiest things to capture

The times that I have seen them, they were hiding in the Mangroves.

Could you fill me in on which 100-400 Lens you refer to?
I have the Canon 100-400mm L IS II. This was a real upgrade from my Canon 70-300mm and of course a lot more expensive. But the results are so much better. It's sharp even on the upper end as long as I don't shake it!

Thanks for the reply. I’d like to upgrade my lens, but in my case shooting a zillion more pictures would probably help me even more. Very nice pictures!
