Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM

A backyard "wild wabbit"

Must be too Hot outdoors to go shooting ! Where is everybody ?

Busy shooting the same old yard birds. I haven't seen anything interesting around here in weeks and it has been too hot to go out looking.

Some recent captures of the Little Blue Heron Fishing on a Hot Texas Morning:

Exif intact

By all means you can shoot anything you want with this lens. It works great at the beach hanging out your vehicle window or shooting daylight sporting events of people. It has just been primarily used as a poor mans telephoto prime for wildlife & birds. Lightweight and great fast AF for BIF also.

The hood is permanently attached and simply extends & retracts which is a feature i wish was used on more lenses.

This lens works nice on small bird species out to around 20ft. and that distance increases with the subject size. For instance you can shoot a vehicle license plate from 150ft. and read the number just fine if my memory serves me correct.

Ron... great shots on this page! It certainly appears that you're having a ball with your relatively new 400mm 5.6.
