Hey now!

I've just joined the Canon DSLR club!   So is this "Team Canon DSLR"   
I haven't done any concert photog yet with the dslr, but I may try it out next week. I'll most likely bring the Canon 85mm f/1.8.

going through some unprocessed landscapes and this one caught my eye.  I like it, but it has no significance (at this time) to print and sell.  Thought I would post it.  Driving down the road on a misty late afternoon/early evening in mid march.  This is the lower spillway below  the Big Fiery Gizzard Resevoir and the mist was just starting to float over the water and it had an eery cold bluish tone that was captured on this 6 second exposure.

That's sweet, Jon!

That's sweet, Jon!

Thanks Ryan 

 A little dark on the exposure I know, but, when boosted it just doesn't look right.  It was dark and gloomy with that eery calm settling down.  Ya'll know those type of evenings, after a hard all day rain with the threat of another storm looming.  Anyways, I had forgotten about this and it was a little surprise that I opened up in Bridge.

I think you are right.  Two of the lenses on my list above are still in UPS transit, and I'm thinking that I need a telephoto.  I mean, no kit is complete without one, right? (<- argument to wife)

Are the expensive ones twice as good in the hands of a newb?  Let's just say that I want to take pictures of a small child playing soccer from the sidelines...
 
EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM ~ $549.00
EF 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 DO IS USM ~ $1,190.00
EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM ~ $1,100.00 (mis-type)

Others I should put in my list?

Patriotically stimulating the US economy,

Whoa.  You are right.  I read and typed that wrong.  It's off the list.  I'm not that economically stimulating.

Check out the 70-200 f4 IS, great for outdoors, kids sports, etc., that'll be in 1k range, else get the 70-200 2.8 w/o IS which would also help you indoors with low light. Better to have the constant 2.8 or 4.0 aperture throughout the zoom. Or if you want to stay in the $500 range, just get the 70-200 f4 w/o the IS.  "L" quality is always a good thing    Invest is good glass, you should only have to buy that once.
