I've been struggling to master my recently acquired Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L lens. Never seem to get close enough to my subjects, so you'll have to settle with this abstract attempt at a wildlife photo :-)
PS. How do you like the new Flickr layout? I love that photos are displayed bigger, but I feel somehow context and navigation has gone down the toilet and it's harder to get a feeling for who shot what, it's all just a huge pile of photos and I don't know what's what. :(

Couldn't resist photographing the front element of Canon's TS-E 17mm f/4L lens after I wiped it clean from dust along with the rest of my lenses. Hopefully they'll stop collecting dust one day and get some regular use :/

I went with a few friends for some photo-fishing last night, and as the four of us stood there shooting the boat simultaneously, I was worried that we would probably all wind up with the same photo. But fortunately that is rarely the case, as you can see from my friends photos:

The fourth member of our posse hadn't posted his at the time of this writing.
The TS-E 17mm came in handy, as it enabled me taking a low-angle shot without sacrificing sky volume for water, by shifting the lens a little bit upwards. Of course I could have tilted the lens upwards for that same purpose, but then I'd be distorting the photo, and who wants to do that when they've got a tilt-shift lens? :-D

My first (and hopefully not last) review!

Unfortunately it's in Icelandic, so I hope my Icelandic followers will find the time to check it out. I decided to let go of charts and boring technical details and made this a personal "in the field" review instead. I think they are much more fun & informative to read.

When we realized the fog wasn't going to clear up at the mountain top before (see previous upload), we hurried back down to the beach for some sunset action. Hvaleyri is the perfect place to walk your graduated filters. This photo is 43megapixels of pixel goodness thanks to 3 vertical frames stitched from the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II.
