Introducing my new *little toy*, the Canon 70-200 2.8 MarkII.

First *shot* when I got home. You can never forget your first one...LOL!
I shot no less than 3 self-portraits this week while testing out different things. The following ended up my favorite (a test of the 20" parabolic reflector I recently acquired). Yes, I know it's distracting that you can see the reflector in my glasses...but I liked it anyway. :-)

Garret, very nice shots! I know 85mm 1.8 can make really great quality pictures, but the Tamron 70-300mm? very very impressive.

I ran around manual focusing, chasing bugs and butterflies & I was lucky to get those two that nicely. But since I don't own a real macro it's what I have to work with.
Pretty much the Tammy is only good for macro work.

Jan - sorry, I don't think I answered your question in the nature shot thread but you're right - these are river otters.
