I’ve had the Canon 100-400mm for nearly 2 months now, and am only just starting to get used to it! To be honest I was a little disappointed at first, but I’m slowly getting there. Good light is definitely a bonus though. Anyhoo, paid a family visit to www.gauntlet.info near Knutsford, Cheshire to get a few snaps.

C&C very welcome please. smile

Thanks
Paul

Good pics, will have a better look later, but I found it took me a while to get something decent out of the 100-400, theres definatly a learning process with it.

Thanks chaps, not perfect I know, but I’m happy with them. The lighting definitely played its part with this lot. Out of about 100 clicks I had about 10-12 or so I was happy with, so don’t think that’s to bad. smile
