Lenses

I rented two camera lens from  Borrow lenses http://www.borrowlenses.com/category/canon.  I rented lenses that I could possibly one day afford to buy. I wanted to rent really nice lenses but I cant afford lenses that cost over 1000.00 , so why make myself want one.  Anyway, I rented a Canon  EF 200mm f/2.8 II USM and a Canon EF 20mm f/2.8 USM. I really like the 200mm. The pictures are crisp and I only get blurry shots every once in a while and its my fault by not having the  focus point in the right place because the dog is moving.   Here are some pictures taken with the 200mm

This was taken in shade. I could have never gotten this with my lens.

"Please , may I have some more".


All the pictures posted on facebook in the last week, including the trial dog pictures, were taken with the 200mm. Except the pictures I posted of my friends border collie, a couple of the close ups were taken with my 50mm lens.

The 20mm lens I dont like to much. If you just want landscape it would be ok. But I just couldnt get what I was looking for.

Well, you get the idea.  So if I rent again I will probably try a 35mm lens.  The 20mm lens I was really on top of the dogs to bring them  close in to the camera. I bet in the above picture I was 2 feet from her. LOL

Here another video ( I know another one???) of Java's running contacts.  There are some tricks in the middle.  I move the target to the end of my yard. I was worried that she was hitting the contact becasue she was collecting  to get to the  target. But I guess not. So time to raise the board.  Yay!!
