Day 107

I rented a Canon 100-400 L series lens for the weekend, mostly to try some wildlife photography and to see what a "pro" series lens was like. The 400mm range is more than what I have, but I think I would like to try a 600mm lens for birds. Although I've just used this lens for maybe an hour.

I went out to Cooking Lake, south east of Edmonton, and when I got there I didn't see any birds at first. I know it is late in the year but I was hoping to see some birds. When I started looking I found a few shore birds close by, but any larger birds seemed to be across the lake. I'll have to try another location tomorrow.
