EF 70-200mm f/4L USM
I’ve just taken delivery of a used EF 70-200mm f/4L USM bought from the for sale section of the Talk Photography forum. It’s in immaculate condition, boxed with caps, hood and pouch. Having avoided zooms for so long I now have two of them. This is is to take to Skomer because it seems I’ll be able to get very close to the Puffins and the EF 400mm f/5.6L USM may be too long.
North of the Boarder
The National Trust held the first of it’s Boarder series at Crantock Beach, Newquay. I arrived with about ten minutes of the competition left to run and managed to fire off a few shots. I quickly realised that 400mm was going to be a little short for photographing surfers with 600mm or 800mm being more suitable. So, standing in the sea up to me knees whilst still wearing my work boots, I managed to grab a couple of keepers:

About Me
I'm a freelance photographer currently living in Lancashire. Although I've been interested in photography most of my life, it's only recently that I've started to concentrate on shooting wildlife.
This blog is just a few of my thoughts as my journey with a digital camera unfolds. Photos are taken from my Flickr photostream.
