Excellent photos!

I have a number of photographs in flicker - two/three on sea gulls, some on animals (Salmon leapinb out of water in Autmn 07) and some landscape photos from Northmberland national park.

I have tried, without success, to post the photos directly - and hence an alternative is through a link.

Enjoy.

This is taken with Canon40D with its EFS 17 - 85(?) IS USM lens.

Others are taken with Canon EF 70 - 300 IS USM lens.

Glad you like the photo, thanks

Yours 70 -200 f4 L IS is a L series lens and should be better than mine which is a not a L sereis lesns.  If i can afford, I would like to get hold of the L sereis lens 70 -2 00 f2.8!  But that at the moment is beyond my reach.

Camera may also a factor, mine is 40D and yours is perhaps having an older version of CMOS sensor.  I am quire happy with 40D CMOS sensor with its ability to record minute details (with a decent lesns of course).

This is a photograph taken about 7 months ago with Canon EOS 400D (that was before I bought the 40D) with its 18(?) - 55 kit lens (a very basic lens without all the frills of USM etc).  The result is still quite impressive.  The photo was taken at quay side of Newcastle.
