I think I'm in love

Santa was a bit later this year but when he came be bought a nice shiny Canon 400mm f5.6L - he knew how keen I am to photograph birds. After I got used to the weight I found it a great lens to use. As I was told, the autofocus is like lightening and the image quality is superb. I don't think I'm yet getting the best out of the lens and the camera is 'only' a 400D (hint hint Santa ;)). These were taken on my recent holiday. They have been cropped but are otherwise unprocessed. Thanks for looking.

Yep! It's a great toy isn't it mate? You're off and racing!

They are a great lens David. I like the duck and heron in particular. Be warned, photographing birds can be nearly as addictive as astronomy!

Looking forward to more.
