First photo taken on 2008.04.13 ... no longer being taken daily however.
2008.04.26 - Day 14 :
My new lens, the Canon 70-200mm f/4 L IS, came in this afternoon thanks to FedEx Home Service with Saturday deliveries. Once the sun moved lower in the horizon I took a trip over to Great Brook Farm State Park and wandered around for a bit. It was pretty quiet out with no wildlife in sight around the ponds so I went back up to the farm house and took this picture of the silo nearby.
I haven't done anything to the image other than correct the white balance slightly and crop out the edge of the building below the silo that got caught in the corner of the image. So far I am very impressed with the lens, it certainly seems to live up to its reputation. Tomorrow I will probably do some tests to see how accurate the focus is, but as you can see on a large object it seems to do just fine. This is my first IS lens and I need to get accustomed to waiting that 1/2-1sec while the IS gains full control. Additionally, I need to get comfortable with holding it as it is the longest and heaviest lens i own.
