After I retired from the Teacher Center nearlyt two years ago, I went to Adorama Camera on 18th St. in Manhattan and bought myself a bunch of really good/cool camera stuff. I bought two Canon 5D mk II's with 35-105mm lenses-my bread and butter lens when working. I splurged and bought a Canon 70-200 f.2.8 lens with image stabilization-a lens really too heavy to comfortably hand hold at a wedding or Bar/Bar Mitzvah. However, I have been using it on a tripod for portraits-also something I'm not used to doing.
Now that we're here in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fl and I'm volunteering my photography for the Jewish Jacksonville News and the Ponte Vedra Recorder and enjoying seeing my work in local publications, I decided to use the 70-200mm and strengthen my hand held shooting skills with it. I've got to admit that I'm enjoying the experience and glad that I weight train at the gym five days a week....
