First tests with my new lens

I have completed my lens series with a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM as my first zoom telephoto.
Some reviews here:

It’s big, it’s heavy, but it is extremely sharp, and the background blur at f/2.8 is just crazy.

Actually I was “pushed” to buy this lens because of some of the best landscape photographs (for my taste) I have seen made by Vincent Laforet, who is intensively using zoom telephotos….

Saint Barth 2012 – Day 17

So, last breakfast and beach in paradise :-(
Last lunch at the Airport in some hours.

It’s time to travel back home (Winair at 14:45 today). I mean the “other” home…

Our 10th time in St Barth was quite exceptional, such a cool and serene time again. Having time with wife and son, time to play with Julien, to read (12 books, not bad this year), to photograph, to post here, to have nice dinners, to drive around the island, to have some naps after the cigars and rum. Pfffuuu :-)

I’m sure that we will keep the hike with Hélène Bernier as highlight in our mind. And I’m also sure that I will miss the fantastic Caribbean colors and Saint Barth views…

The return is always quite difficult, but hey, we were again lucky enough to be able to come to Saint Barth!

To close this series, I think that some sunsets could be quite adequate. So, 3 of them to share!

Sunset at Public

Sunset at Grand Fond

Saint Barth 2012 – Day 16

We had some rain showers almost all the nights during our stay.
Then, very sunny and breezy days, excepted yesterday.
Three times wet in one day ;-)
And rain showers and sun at the same time in the afternoon!

Last night in Saint Barth, we are flying back tomorrow afternoon!
