My first attempt using my new purchase: The canon 40D with the canon 70-200mm f/4L lens and kenko converter. I bought this camera used, and was so pleased at the near perfect condition everything was in when it arrived. It is a more solid casing, and with the lens, and converter kind of heavy, and this was a hand held capture.

I bought this camera because it has a much faster shooting speed in sports mode than the t3i actually double.

I shot this using the auto WB, which I have now changed, and shot in jpeg which also has been changed to RAW.

So I will be experimenting with the new used toy.

WB: Auto/ shooting mode: continuous/ focal 280.00 / TV 1/800.

Any constructive advice is most welcome, and thank you for commenting.

Always liked my 40D and after I sold it, Richie tells me it's one of Canon's finest efforts! Go figure.

Anyway, you got good results with it, Tigs. It is great to be able to get multiple shots in quickly and not have to hang in while waiting as the camera is busy.

The 40D has a great reputation Tigz. I am sure you will love it.
A good start with your new partnership.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Sorry, I cannot say anything about the 40D cos I ain't even held one!...
I know you may have to buy a shoulder harness, to help carry it around!..lol

If this is the result of just 'learning' it...then I am sure we are all in for some treats!...

I've had my 40D now for 4 and 1/2 years now, and I love it. The 6+ fps is really nice, eh? Beautiful shot here, Sandi. Outstanding color and clarity.
