Trumpeter Swan Photos
« on: January 06, 2010, 11:11:18 PM »
I just Had to go out and tryout my new Canon 400 mm. L series telephoto lens today where it was such a beautiful day. ;) :)

I found some trumpeter swans that were in range of the long lens, so I grabbed a few photos before they decided to get out of range.

Here is a few of the photos I have edited.

(the flying ones will be posted later)





and I call this one: "Sniff, sniff, my armpits smell bad!"











All the photos were hand held. (I forgot to take my Tripod along with me, it was such a spur of the moment thing.)
