ChrisF, I am asking because I don't know for sure but that lens you used it does have IS? Was it the original IS version of that lens? I am not suggesting you upgrade or anything, the shot you posted is very well done. I am just curious because of all the advancements in IS, VR, and VC it would be interesting to see how much of a difference the newer systems make.
You got a lot of detail without a lot of noise out of that 30D!


Great photography is not about being in the right place at the right time, it is about putting yourself in the right place at the right time.
