Hey Guys and Gals

The 7D turned up a couple of weeks back so I decided to head off to Gigrin in Wales to give it a test. Perhaps I should have read the manual several hundred times over before using it in anger. I had autofocusing issues because of how I set up on the day. However, I did get some shots that I was quite happy with, some of these are below. Your usual c&c would be greatly appreciated.

Love 2 and 3! Which lens were these shot with?

EXIF has the focal length of over 200mm, so I'd say it was the Sigma 150-500mm
