Post your best current shots

Here are two I got the other night. I figured I would throw them into this thread as well since it seems to be the most active.

Thanks Mark....nice shot of Trinity. Enjoy Beantown.....if you are still there, I saw some night video on the news of kids playing in the fountains along the Rose Kennedy Greenway. I almost hoped in my car to drive down...had the makings of some great shots.....

Haven't got out shooting as much lately, but last weekend we had a chance to do a fair bit of kayaking. Mostly I was playing around with a GoPro, but I did pull out the 7D for a few bird shots. Here is one:

7D
100-400 L
220mm
1/125 sec
f/10
400 ISO

Thanks. It's Trinity Church and the John Hancock Tower in Boston. The Boston Public Library is to my right out of frame.

I have some of kids playing in the fountains by the Christian Science campus, but I wasn't happy with how they came out. The best part of the trip (besides the awesome seafood) was a spur of the moment visit to Bromfield Camera, one of only two camera stores in Boston. They had just taken in a 1D Classic with 1300 shutter clicks and 3 pristine L lenses; a 100-400, a 16-35 Mk I, and a 70-200 f2.8 IS Mk I. I worked a decent trade deal for my 70-300L and now own a virtually new 70-200 f2.8 IS Mk I. I like it a lot.

Mark, did you get all three lenses for the 70-300L or just the 70-200 IS Mk I. Either way, congrats on the new glass. But if you got all three, I am floored.

I wish, but no, just the 70-200 IS Mk I for my 70-300 and a little cash on my end. I could have done a little better selling it online, but the hassle and the risk of doing so wasn't something I looked forward to. I'm happy with the deal. The 70-200 is tack sharp and accurate. I set up my bottles-in-a-row test in my office and the focus point was exactly where I was aiming.

Now I'm really looking forward to the airshow here in late August. And the week after the airshow there will be a B-25 here for a week offering rides. I'll be getting many pics of that in flight.
