I took some time on the evening of August 4th to go out and see the birds at Cheyenne Bottoms. The trip also gave me the opportunity to try Canon’s EF 400mm f/5.6L USM lens that I am renting for the weekend. I can see why many people love this lens. It delivers a fast…
Couldn’t resist shooting a couple pics of this squirrel stealing a peanut can from my neighbor’s pickup. Why does a certain line from UP come to mind?
