Post Your Best Nature Shots!

[Dave Metcalf]

Here are some shots from last summer on a small lake near Traverse
City, Michigan. All were taken with a EOS 30D, with an EF 100-400
f/4.5-5.6 L IS lens (rented from Lens Rentals -- who have given me
great service by the way -- can't recommend them high enough).


Enjoy

Loons adult and immatures -- 400mm, f/7.1, 1/400 sec This image has been photoshopped a bit to tone down the green reflection from the woods along the lake shore.

Let me know what you think. I've been a serious amateur for a while -- and having a blast.

For Dave Metcalf:


I can't give a technical critique. I just wish that I had taken them!


Looks like you may have used the 100-400mm zoom.
