First photos with my Christmas gift
Dec 31, 2018 08:01:42 #
Wife allowed me a new Canon 100-400 4.5-5.6 L IS II USM lens for my Canon 80D. These are the first photos. First I took a shot from about 6ft into a bookcase of envelops in a bag with only room lighting. Others are at a bird feeder about 60ft from the front porch using a tripod I cropped them after a minimum of processing. I LOVE my wife!

.Thank you R.G. I tried to edit out the twig in front of the cardinal but some detail was lost. Thanks for looking in.
BTW I was lucky enough to visit Edinburgh for a few days last year. Lovely city. Would like to explore more of your country.
Happy New Year

Don't you just love when a plan comes together. I think you are going to really like that lens. Congratulations. Say thank you to your wife from us. We are going to benefit by seeing some great photos.

She was here when I opened your comment. I got a tap on the head and she said, "You better thank me!"
I did, and I will have to do it over and over again 'till she tires of hearing it.

Great eye for light supported by that lens. Glad you are enjoying.
Well, thank you artBob. It sure is better than my Tamron 18-400, even though I did enjoy its versatility, it had its limits. It will probably will be up for sale shortly.

Sorry to say I've had several medical setbacks since October and future travel is very iffy unless locally by car. We had planned to visit Northern England and Scotland in 2020 for 3 weeks, but we had to cancel for practical reasons.
But, thanks for the invite.

Congrats on the new lens. Nice bird shots
Thanks NJFrank. My test shots are looking pretty good. When I do more serious scenes I'll put them up.
