Great pics as usual Trace. We stand very near you and my daughter tries her best with her little compact Lumix TZ6 but alas no contest with these. I see you have a Canon EOS 50D, what lens do you use to get these pics as I am considering getting a second hand 40D if I can raise the funds?

Canon EF 35-105mm f/4.5-5.6m looking at the properties.

Don't know where those properties come from Kev, I use a 70-300mm.

Thanks for the comments DT,can highly recommend the camera, I had a second hand 300d up until last year when it packed up, I kept it in the hope I may be able to get it repaired, I looked for a 40d but ended up getting a great deal on a 50d and an interest free credit card The difference between my two cameras is amazing, shutter speed is so fast on the 50d, sounds like a machine gun!! Ideal for shooting rugby.

As for your daughter and her compact, it's great she wants to take photos, my daughter is actually doing A Level photography and loves it.
