A NEW LENS: CANON 70-300mm IS USM

Well, after taking photographs a few days ago of the Discovery shuttle with my wimpy 17-85 lens, I knew I needed a zoom lens. I forked over some money today and got one at Best Buy. I've read reviews on this lens, and they were pretty good. No, it's not L series glass, but I'm not made of money and I'm not a pro. Anyway, I tested it today, and I really like it. I'm going to have fun taking wildlife photos and other distant subjects with this thing. Now, to a few photos:

That toy is going to open up a whole new world for your photo hobby. I remember having buyers remorse on dropping the $$$ on my first good telephoto lens. It lasted until the first time I took it out in the field...NEVER regretted the purchase since. Have fun and looking forward to seeing more of your shots with it.

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it. Yea, I thought long and hard about dropping the money for it, but I knew it would be worth it. Photography is a big hobby of mine, and I love every minute of it.
