Field testing my super 100-400 L IS

Fatbirder's Top 1000 Birding Websites

I got the chance today (November 20th) to field test my super-copy of the 100-400 IS and the Quezon City campus of the University of the Philippines provided the proving grounds. I also experimented with some crazy long exposures (8 seconds at 1600 mm) in near darkness....:)
