EF 70-300MM

Does the post title impress you? *blowing on knuckles, rubbing chest*... yeah, I thought it might. Well, my dear readers, that is the model number of my new Canon telephoto lens Michael got me for my anniversary gift. I mentioned it in the previous post. I thought I would give a more detailed description of it:

The EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM telephoto zoom lens has been developed to meet the high-performance standards that today's photographers demand. Improved Image Stabilizer Technology provides up to three stops of "shake" correction, and the "Mode 2" option stabilizes images while panning with a moving subject. Compared to the original Canon EF 75-300mm IS zoom lens, this telephoto lens has faster autofocus, and overall the lens is lighter and has a smaller diameter than the original. The zoom ring can be locked at the 70mm position, making this powerful lens easy to transport, too.

OK, OK, so I didn't actually write the above description, I did the unthinkable... I plagiarized it. So much for impressing you. *sigh* I'll impress you one of these days... I will, I will, I say! ahem... Anyway... Here are a few pics I took yesterday with the new lens. Caitie is over her cold, so I let her play outside in her sandbox...
