Birds in a feeder

Image
The feeder is handmade by me. Birds were there all the time in similar quantities. I was amazed by the speed and crowd they were making... Full Flickr version: Canon 6D, Canon EF 100-400L ƒ4.5-5.6 IS USM, at 400mm, ISO2000, 1/320, ƒ/5.6 

Nothern Wheateater (juvenile)

Nothern Wheateater Juv.  This one was siting on the rock where its parents were watching for prey time to time. It made the final assumption it is a juvenile of theirs. Thanks guys from reddit for confirming my assumption! Full Flickr version: Canon 6D, Canon EF 100-400L ƒ4.5-5.6 IS USM, at 400mm, ISO2500, 1/500, ƒ/6.3

Canon EF 100-400 L f4-5.6 first subjective impressions

Image
I have bought a lens recently. It is a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM . I want to provide here first impressions with a bunch of sample photos made with this lens. It is my first bought L lens. I have used L-s before, like Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM or Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM and Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L EF USM . They are all good Lenses in its class, except for only 24-105. It is Ok to. But it comes much overpriced over used lenses too. My first idea to buy a L lens came in form of desire for  Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM . I have had my hands on it for a week or so. Its the best Lens in terms of picture quality I have ever used. (In its focal characteristics of course). Main idea it has slightly less usable focal range. I have a passion for Tele Hunting. Capturing various birds. I'm only learning however. So my expectations from  Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM  was to capture nice pictures of birds and have a good low light capabilitie...
