First photos of the 2007

By Words | Published January 1, 2007

This morning, in the skies above our garden. The pigeons and rooks suddenly took to the wing. I looked up and saw this! Much improved on the efforts my old camera managed.

    The quality really is very impressive :up: A Canon 18 – 55mm lens came with my camera, so I have two lenses to play with, but I'd still like a 400mm one! 😥 I was just looking on Canon's site and they used to make a 1200mm lens for…er…$89,000! :eyes:

    $89,000 :eyes: For that much I'd expect them to get the bird to come and pose in front of the camera.

    I'm blown away – that is magnificant.

    *fights a temptation to buy a new lens*

    I'm already feeling I'm going to lose that battle, though it will be a shorter lens. The 100-400L will have to wait!

    Here's a 100% crop of the last picture.
