Canon EF 400mm F/5.6 L USM Lens Built-In Hood Extracted
I am really happy with my Canon EF 400mm F/5.6 L USM. I have used it with the Canon EOS 40D and Canon EOS 60D all with great results. As a follow up to the review I posted, here are more sample photos I shot with the Canon EF 400mm F/5.6 L USM Lens

The Canon EF 400mm F/5.6 L USM Lens is simply an amazing lens. It's easy and fun to use, and it really feels good in my hands. Introduced in 1993, this EF 400mm F/5.6 L lens is Canon's least expensive L lens in their 400mm line up and it is one of the most affordable 400mm in the industry.

It was raining all day today, but the birds were still out playing, I can here them enjoying the rain, so I grab my gear and sat by the front door, I was lucky enough to get a few keepers.
In situations like this your best friend is your ISO. Boosting your ISO can greatly help you get a great shot. Here for example, I use an ISO of 800. This allowed me to use a fast shutter speed to catch this fast little birds. The photo above was shot using a was shot with a Canon EOS 40D and Canon EF 400mm F/5.6L.

Photographing birds in your backyard can be really fun and exciting, not just for you, but for the whole family as well, especially your children. I mean just watching those tiny little birds take turns and feasts on the bird feeder is just crazy fun and can be really rewarding.
Here are a few tips to get some good photos:
- Use the longest lens you have.
- Shoot at wide aperture to blur the background and make your subject stand out.
- Use a fast shutter speed to catch the action, this will minimize blurry photos.
- Check your background for distraction.
- Use your external flash to improve the quality of light.
- Don’t be afraid to boost your ISO.
- Crop for creativity.

Today I notice these pesky Crows trying to feed on the bird feeder. Here’s one photo I manage to shoot, looks like he’s trying to charged. Anyway, since they’re too big to fit in the bird feeder, what they did was to knock it down to the ground.
Yesterdays, Backyard Photo Studio was a success, I really had fun watching the birds bounced in and out taking turns. Today, not just birds were enjoying the treats, I saw two squirrels taking turns and enjoying the free food, I manage to take a photo of them(shown above). Here’s my favorite one below. I’ve been wanting to photograph this bird for a long time, and I was saw happy when I saw him drop by, but it was a really quick one. I mange to shot 2 frames, and this is the best one of the two. Hopefully he drops by tomorrow.

Spring time is almost around the corner, I’m really excited to be able to do some backyard photography, in fact I’ve already seen the birds playing around every morning. Because of that I decided to make a simple Backyard Bird Photo Studio. I got myself a bird feeder. Actually I bought this back in late fall because it was on sale at the local walmart for about $2.
