New Lens: Canon 70-300 f4-5.6 IS USM

Since a few days I am a proud user of the Canon 70-300 IS USM Telezoom lens. My first impression of this lens is very good: it is fast, has a wide zoom range and the image quality is near by a Canon “L”-Lens. The only drawback is that it is a little bit too loud especially when the image stabilizer works.

Now I have my photo equipment complete (for a few days ): a powerful macro and portrait lens (the Sigma), a universal lens for all-day use (the kit-lens) and a great telezoom for action and wildlife photography. Stay tuned for the results

Green Grass Desktop

Yeah, Mac OS X Leopard comes with that cool new desktop wallpaper showing simple green grass. I decided to have my own green grass desktop for Tiger and wanted to share it with you. Feel free to download and use it on your own…

Is this a lucky bear?

Last week we had a visit in the public zoo in nuremberg. I thought I take my EOS with me to take some funny pictures of the animals there. But I was shocked by what I’ve seen there. I think the employees in the zoo will do their best for the animals but I learned that most of the animals are surely not very lucky… so I have a question: is this a lucky bear?
