High-flying dog makes a good subject for a lens test

October 27, 2016 by Tony Leave a Comment

I rented a lens for an event this weekend and couldn’t find any worthwhile subjects to test it on while driving home. Lucky for me I have Scout, my Border Collie who is always willing to play. The light was a bit harsh and I was shooting towards it but it was still fun and he gave me some nice captures.

Oh, and for the lens, it is a Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS L. We’ll see how it does this weekend but I think it is going to do great.
