    Default CANON 600mm F4

    Got to take a couple of stills and some video footage with a 600mm F4 on Friday night was blown away by how easy I came to grips with it and the shots I got out of it. Would love to show some here, but have to wait a week or so, until I have the go ahead to show them online

    No, I'm serious... I was an assistant to a pro photog, so the photo's go to the client 1st, and when I get they go ahead I can post online the ones I took. I dropped off my photo's this morning, so now I have to wait...

    Thanks again Sean I had to be really critical with myself when it came to the edit, from 500+ images down to 79 that I submitted, of which 40 were chosen. But, it was a great learning experience, and has only made me enjoy what I'm doing more and more!
