Thanks for sharing. 400mm on a 7D... that's one way to make sure you get a candid shot, especially for kids who act differently when the camera is within 100 feet. []

Wow, those are very nice photos and cute kids! Every time I see photos from this lens there

Very Nice, Love that lens! The long focal length is the best way to get those candid shots of kids. My 5 year old step grand daughter sees the camera aimed in her direction she has to ham it up bit for the camera. I have the same lens and can keep my distance to capture those candid shots much easier with less chance of her noticing.


Having said that. The DOF in both is great, especially at 400mm f/5.6 with that lens. The Both look great, but the second looks like you had a tougher time of it with the bright sunshine overhead.


Did you use full manual or did you use AV mode? I

I'm also curious to see that as bright as the Sun seems to be shinning you had the white balance set to cloudy. Whatever, it seemed to have worked very good.

I love the effect of using cloudy on a bright sunny day. It's got a warmth that I'm usually looking for specially when people are present.
