Friday, Jan. 21, 2011. I have finally decided to sell my Canon EF 70-210mm and posted it on eBay for $155, this includes shipping and handling, and on Saturday at 11PM, it was sold.
When I got this lens over a year ago, I said, I wasn’t going to sell it. It’s a keeper, I use it more than I used my Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM Lens Continue reading ». It’s a great all around lens. I used it around the house, it’s the lens attached to my 20d every time I go for a morning or afternoon stroll and I want to take a telephoto instead of the 50mm. It’s light, easy to carry around and it takes great pictures.
Some have asks if a telephoto lens can be use in macro photography. The answer is certainly yes. The photo above was taken on a foggy summer morning using a Canon EF 70-200mm F/4 IS USM Lens. Although it’s not a real macro but a closeup, using a telephoto lens in these type of situations can really change the way we see things up-close.

This was my first attempt to photograph birds, this was taken December of 2009. That day when I went out, my only intentions are to take bird photos. I just got the Canon EF 70-210mm F/4 lens and really wanted to try it out. I used to have a Sigma 70-300mm APO DG Macro, but didn’t get a chance to shoot bird photos with it.

The first thing I want you to remember is that the moon is very bright, therefore nightime exposure isn’t the answer.

Here’s a photo of a bird in flight, taken with a fast shutter speed, of 1/500, because of the fast shutter speed, I was able to freeze or stop the action.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to watch the Ringling Bros. Circus. I brought my Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8 VC, EF 85mm F/1.8 and my only telephoto the EF 70-210mm F/4 Macro. 90% of the time I was using the EF 70-210mm, the 85mm was sleeping in the bag all time.
I was impressed with the performance of the EF 70-210mm F/4, with it, I was able to take photos that wasn’t just possible with the Tamron 17-50mm, because of the distance. All the photos on this post are of the 70-210mm and none of them were post processed, they came straight from the SD Card imported to my lightroom library and uploaded to flickr. Continue reading »

of the flowers that are full-blown. Last week when I last saw them they were just tiny little buds and now they look so beautiful especially with the color of the afternoon sun shining at them giving them this beautiful color of life.
