Yep, when talking wildlife photography, bigger focal length is better (Oh you know why you clicked on this thread:D Anyways, I got the chance to break away from remodeling work (basically because I'm waiting for permits), took the camera and flyrod and headed to my cabin for a bit yesterday. I caught quite a few nice browns (no pictures, sorry), and then went for a short drive around the property. I found I REALLY need a larger wildlife lens as I jumped quite a few deer just out of range of my lens. Here are the only two worth even posting, but even then, they're not good: Some other pictures from the trip: Normally this one wouldn't make the cut, but I'm happy with how it turned out for being shot in full manual with me holding it out the window while driving: The laurel was in full bloom:
No, those are abandoned corn cribs. I won't post pictures of the cabin. Too much vandalism in the past. Let's say it's definitely above average as far as hunting cabins go.:D Hooker, thanks, although I'm only 1/27th owner:D Iowa, I've had this 30D and stock 28-135mm lens for two years, and I have definitely out shot my use with this lens. It's definitely holding me back on a lot of my shots, I'm just too cheap to buy other lenses:D
Matt - I picked up a Sigma DG 70-300mm lens for my Canon off of Ebay for $100. It was well worth it. Had to look at several auctions and then found one that ended in the middle of a weekday. That's the one I bid on and got. Here's a canon lens ending soon: http://cgi.ebay.com/Canon-EF-75-300...92784945?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item415a97ff31
