Weekend Photography update

[petardier]

I've been considering upgrading to a full SLR. To help figure what I want, I rented a Canon 7D and a 300mm telephoto for a week. I took a trip to the Franklin Park to try it out today. Here's one of the photos I took:

In the original, you can see the texture of the tiger's tongue.

I probably pasted my last response in as an ordinary comment. I've done that a few times lately.

They say the best camera is the one you have with you. ;-)

I did the rental from a place called "Glass and Gear". They ship to some of the Hunt's photo locations around here. You might find it interesting to try one of the newer low(er) end cameras that has a low F number lens plus high ISO. You can get that without spending a fortune. A combo like that opens up possibilities in low light situations.

I'd be happy to let you try my Lumix GF1 at some point. Maybe a field trip to Mt. Auburn cemetery? I've been meaning to go photograph there for a while. I may be a bit busy until the Brazil trip is done, but maybe we can work something out. I definitely need to get out and work with the new precious so that I'm comfortable with it.

Oh, I would love to do a photo fieldtrip! Let me know when you get back!
