Bird on A Wire

Rancho Bernardo, CA

With my apologies to Goldie Hawn for the caption, I thought this would make a good post for a couple of reasons.

First you can see with the 5D how small a segment one can pull out to make a 1024 x 768 px image.

Secondly, I think this shows that 70-300 DO lens is good but that it certainly lacks the extra punch of a comparable L lens.

The original shot is below:


Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM

Just think what you'd have captured out in the desert with us...

Every lens I own has some kind of compromise. Your lens is small and light and an excellent travel lens. It did a very nice job here. Maybe an S-curve would give it that punch that you are looking for.

Good example Robin. Nice crop and you still have the catch light in it's eye.
