Never again will I pick one up. I have in the past to "help" them to water.
Great shot.
On a monopod and with long lenses, I leave the IS, ON. There will always be some movement with a monopod. On a tripod, I leave IS, OFF. It works for me.
Good ones, Greg. I particularly like the composition with the flowers in background.
I bought the f4 non IS and returned it because: The physical length is that of a 200mm lens and I found it hard to hand hold.
Macphun Snap Heal Pro does a great job along with iPhoto.
Doesn't get any better than that, Greg.
Great shots, Greg. Am ordering "feet".
