Hi Eric
In plague proportions LOL! Alma Park zoo just N of Brissie and Currumbin on the Gold Coast were the venues. The Canon 70-200 F4 L is a beauty of a lens.

Hi Dave
I missed the early Forum history of Pelicans on Ice In Space and for some reason, I had mistakenly thought that it was Striker (Tony) who had an, ahem, strong aversion to these?
I’m slowly getting used to the controls on the 40D and when I get it right, the camera can’t help but produce good photos so I can’t take too much credit. I spent about 15 minutes snapping away at the dragonflies using the EF 70-200mm F4 L and I noticed that I needed to select the central auto focus point only, as using the pattern of 9 sensors often focused on the far wing, or tail, leaving the body out of focus due to the shallow depth of field. It seems that technology can only go so far and then one has to use the old grey matter for the final touch.
Cheers
Dennis
