my photographic ethics statement.

REAL WORLD Lens Tests

Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L
Mine for one week...
but what happened to the sun?

Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS
Four weeks with this one,
the finest rental so far!
Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM
Test failed. With a two-week rental, not one usable photo from this lens. Without IS, this demands a sturdy tripod. I may try this again, as the idea of a 400mm prime is surely appealing...

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro
Tried it out, and had to buy one . An incredible performer for
the price, and who doesn't love extreme close-ups?

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
When I bought the 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 IS USM, I threw this one in the order. For less than $80.00, this little lens earns "best bang for the buck," easily.
NEW Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
My new walkabout lens, just arrived 2/14/08. Supposedly another bang-for-the-buck lens. Expect another Real World Lens Test very soon! See SimpleViewer slideshows below...

Fauna
Birds, bees, dogs, cats, groundhogs, anything that lives and breathes.

Flowers, shrubs, trees, anything that lives but doesn't breathe.
Scenes
Places, vistas, scenic elements, anything that doesn't live, doesn't breathe, just sits there.

Transportation
Planes, cars, a train, and anything that doesn't live, doesn't breathe, but goes like hell.

Eagles
The Philadelphia variety. Images from the stadium and training camp.
Mustangs
The Ford variety. Anything from 1964 to 2007.
Occasional Photo of the Day
Of late, very occasional. A photo blog, if you will.
What's all this talk about aperture... shutter speed... ISO? Gimme examples!
