5d2, 70-200 2.8 IS II, visit to the park today

Went to the local park with my wife and child. there is a tree there which changes colors and sheds its leaves for fall, but for the most part, it was to early. still managed a couple of fun decent shots. tried to use some of the light coming through the trees as hair light/back light. Let me know what you think.

Very nice and beautiful family. I can't wait to buy my 70-200 and your shots just make me want it more

Great shots and beautiful family!!

Thank you for the kind words

These are beautiful. I cant see the exif since stupid firefox updates every two weeks and my viewer doesnt work now. Are these reflector or flash?

no reflector or flash. all just natural light, around 5 pm, shot between 2.9 and 3.5, and I think all at 200mm

Thanks! I cant get over number 4. It looks intentionally lit!

Thanks Jak. Hardly anything I ever do is intentional .

Very Nice!

The more I see from the 70-200 MkII, the more I consider it to be the "Keg Killer"

First zoom that truly competes with the primes it covers in its range.

thank you Jay, and Tim. Jay, I know what you mean. Even though I love my 85 1.2, there is a sequence of her running towards me that I took, which the Keg would have struggled with. the focus is so much snappier on the 70-200, and color and contrast and sharpness are just fantastic wide open. The dof on a full frame at 2.8 is pretty shallow already. however the keg is still nice in low light indoors, at 1.2, at 1/60 sec, when not much else would do.

Nice one. I need to take some family shots. Love my 70-200mm f2.8 IS II.

Wow Kevindar!! whatcha feedin' your daughter.....its it amazing how quickly they grow???

Cherish those photos!!! My wife never complains as my gear grows :P People may say gear doesn't make a photographer but I will say the 70-200 without a doubt a fantastic tool in capturing beautiful moments.

thanks for sharing...as usual!
