Default Playing with my new toy....

A few of my first shots while warming up to my new 70-200mm f/4L IS USM lens.

This lens is really great. It's sharp. The colors and contrast are wonderful, and the bokeh is amazingly smooth.

The lens is sharp but so is the photographer. I really like the white background in #s 1 & 3. Number 1 looks like it could be a Japanese painting and could easily adorn the front of a greeting card. I like the DOF in photo #2. Looking forward to more pictures taken with this lens (and of course, by this photographer).

Well the photographer had a lot to do with the shots but the lens is a sharp one.

Beautiful shots. The first one really caught my eye, the composition is perfect. Enjoy your new toy! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your shots with it.
