GRU Frisbee on 2009/10/18
I recently got a
Canon 7D
and after using an el-cheapo
55-250 telephoto lens
to shoot some
frisbee pictures two week earlier

I borrowed a 100-400 "L" lens from a friend to give the camera a real workout. It was mid-afternoon sunny skies, so light was semi-decent, and these are in-camera JPEG's rather than processed RAW files. Overall, I was impressed with the camera/lens combo and you can
also see some good auto focus tracking (and some gnarly frisbee action!) in these sequence pictures.

There was some serious jumping during this game
Once again, guess who catches this disk?!? ;-)
Kyle's "Eyes Closed D" is pretty effective! ;-)
