Armageddon

When it rained Saturday morning, I knew I wanted to be up at the Griffith Park Observatory for sunset, as it would be a nice, clear view. So after a few hours at Hollywood Forever's Dia De Los Muertos, a few of us headed up to Griffith Park for sunset. I had a jonesing that nothing but a sunset could cure ;-)

All though all the clouds cleared out, I wasn't disappointed. And then they fired off the nukes...

Shot with the old Canon 5D and the Canon 17-40 f4L. A couple more after the jump

My son

As most of you know, my favorite subjects to shoot are my kids. My son, at 2 1/2 years old, has proved to be a very elusive subject. While at my daughters riding lesson this weekend, he actually ASKED me to take his picture. And he proved to be quite the little model.

Canon 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS

For those of you following along, you know I traded my Canon 24-70 f/2.8L for the Canon 100-400 f/4-5.6L IS. Best. Deal. Ever.
To say I love this lens doesn't do it justice. I'm completely infatuated. It is probably the sharpest lens I have ever used. I didn't think I'd like the push-pull type zoom, but they got it right. And with push-pull, it's fast to go from 100mm to 400mm. No reason to miss a shot. Here is just a small sample of shots I've taken recently with this lens, most all of them taken with the old Canon 5D.



Is it a beast? No more so then my other favorite lens, the Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS (I still use version 1)

In fact, I like this lens so much, I'm considering selling my old 5D and the 70-300 f4-5.6 IS to get a Canon 7D...
