Zoo Captures with the 24-70
I was so glad to be able to get out and do some shooting today. Temperatures are soaring to 60 degrees. The new 24-70mm F/2.8 performed flawlessly. Boy, does it focus fast! I had no problem with the hefty weight or the lack of VR. My skills were developed years before there was such a thing.
I particularly like the look of this turtle photo. The shallow depth of field combined with the dark earth tones makes for an attractive combination. I nailed the focus on his eyes.

That's brilliant - especially full size! I now have very serious lens envy - just think what this could do for dog shots!
