This WOULD have been my view for the Space Shuttle Launch:

Lenses go back today, so no super-zoom next week when they try again...

 

[FunkyBuddha]

So they didn't launch the shuttle? Get any decent shots and tried out the lenses anyways?

 

[FlyinHawaiian]

No, unfortunately, it was scrubbed with 3 hours to go - a failed heater for one of the Auxiliary Power Units. I got a few test shots with the lens, but nothing really worth posting. For the things I shoot, its too long of a lens to get anything "good" out of, too specific a purpose, IMO. I'll go out and try to shoot a couple things today on my way to the fedex office to drop it off, but unless I'm shooting another air show, or possibly the LAST shuttle launch in June, I wouldn't ever consider buying the lens. Don't get me wrong, its VERY sharp, and reasonably fast, but too specific in its application.

Here's one of the MSP I took with it:

I love my 1-4. In fact, I don't put the 70-200 on that much anymore because I am usually wanting the extra reach. To each his own, I guess! I definitely want to check out a 1.4x converter!

For airshows and the like, the 1-4 would be stellar, but for my every day shooting, it doesn't do much for me. Now THIS http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/ef_lens_lineup/ef_28_300mm_f_3_5_5_6l_is_usm would be perfect!

yeah, but for the price, wouldn't you rather have an 85mm f/1.2?

So, I got back from my 1 yr anniversary cruise and I took over 600 photos... just looking through them today and processed a few of my favorites... here are a couple:

Get low man, try to show the horizon in your shots if you can. Always try to be on the same level as your subject if at all possible.

i tried that, problem is, the birds are in the pond in the middle of our apartment complex, so JUST out of frame are cars and apartment buildings.
