Beauty is youth [Westlake Park, Seattle] Canon EOS 20D w/Canon 70-200mm f4 L telephoto zoom
I finally got the lens I've been wanting ever since I got into photography with a Digital SLR, the Canon 70-200mm f4 L zoom telephoto. Unfortunately I've only had the chance to shoot about 50 shots with it since I got it last weekend as I've been working so much (worked overtime for the new lens). But I'm already loving the sharpness of this lens. It's so much harder to shoot well with, though, as a long lens like that causes a lot of camera shake, which I'm learning to compensate for. I can't wait to use this to photograph people at festivals, as it means I get get more candid portraits without having to be right in the subject's face.

Interesting, I'm looking at new lenses too. Look forward to seeing more candid shots then. I've got the 350D but the standard 18-55mm is rather ... limited ...

Wow, you've captured this weeks challenge perfectly. Great, crisp shot!
I also experience a lot of camera lens shake; how are you dealing with it?
