    Climber in Cheddar Gorge

    Hi all,

    I took these as a real test of the new Canon 100mm-400mm L IS USM MkII I had purchased the day before. As usual, the sky was dull, drab and overcast so the shots in the set on Flickr look blown out and bland. However, when I looked up from alongside the entrance to the Caves in Cheddar Gorge I saw something (just) move on a far rockface.

    The first shot was taken with the lens at 100mm to to get the broad shot of the cliff face. There are two persons in this shot (see if you can find the second one).

    The second is taken at 400mm looking at the climber.

    The rest are cropped from a 400mm shot so as to concentrate on the movement of the climber.

    Clearly a very capable combination ....excellent detail, remarkably sharp....for what would normally be considered a slow shutter speed (1/80th) for use at 400mm.

      Agree with Brian, looks good to me for 400mm and cropped too, especially at slow speeds, a good test
