Tomorrow, Tomorrow...

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I love you, Tomorrow.  It is only a day away.

I  am singing....woo hoo.  Just ordered my 7D and my 300mm lens and the EF1.4III extender and spare battery and I get them tomorrow.

Fabulous as I got them from WEX and got a bundles deal which they have been awaiting stock on for the last fortnight and the stock came in today.

I have one question about my order.  I know some people use a lens filter to protect their lens and some hate them.  I want one just to protect the lens until I get used to it.  It was really hard choosing one and I ended up getting this one as WEX had it on offer with the 300mm lens.

If you guys think there is a better one that you recommend I shall order the new one.  I have not got a clue on lens filters.

I am so jet lagged as we arrived home yesterday at 3pm after a 5 hour delay and 2 flights. It was such a fantastic holiday and as most of you know I did manage to get some quite nice shots of the local hummingbirds.  I have to admit that I was pretty cheesed off with the Fuji as it kept overheating, would not focus, and it took an eternity to store pictures so I missed a massive amount of action with the hummers. Also my lens distortion was horrendous and every photo I had to edit to compensate this.  I do wish that I had the new Canon gear with me as I know my photos would have been so much better but saying that the humidity was horrendous and it was so hot that I could only stand out for about half an hour before the heat got to me.  Although Barbados is a very safe island I know I would have been too nervous with fabulous gear to stand in the isolated spot where I took most of my photos.
