This flag flies outside of an Oregon State office near my daughter's home, and sometimes if there is some breeze I like to try for a nice shot.

I was using my Canon 1D Mk III with the 70-200 f/2.8 IS, and found the lens to give me a good combination: getting a position that gave me a good angle of view, needing a decent zoom, then opening up to f/2.8 to give me selective focus: just what I wanted!
