You got this body so you could take two pictures of a writing spider?

It's a wasp spider innit?

Paul.

A couple more from today. Both with the 18-135mm IS STM lens that came as a kit with my 70D.

Yes, the 70D is now retired

Damn you're lucky that spider waited around all that time...risky purchase!

Geese in flight, all I saw..

Might as well introduce myself to potn. A few with the 70d on my first day with it.

Lens was 500/4 & 1.4x II

^^^Wow, those do not look like a extender was used.

Man these last pics posted are wonderful. If I had that goose shot I'd have to CS6 a Moon into it (just teasing)....these pics tell me that BIFs will someday have to be a goal, and yet another round of purchases to get there....so in anticipation of the future and BIF, what will I need?

I'll help you out and give you $600 for it... $650 if the shutter is under 150...

So far I'm liking the migration from 7D to 70D

Charles

nice shots - why replace the 7D?

If you shot BIF or moving wildlife previously - I'm very curious to hear your honest review of AF comparison between the 7D and 70D. Thanks

well Keyan, myself, and surely others would vouch for the 70-300L IS.
The 100-400L IS although old - is still very popular...

Paul.

That would be an Argiope aurantia, a.k.a. black and yellow garden spider, writing spider, or corn spider.

They look quite fearsome, but they are just one of many orbweavers that do a good job of looking fierce while consuming insects.
