There are some great wetlands near my place with Trumpeter Swans that originated from a reintroduction program. I had some fun photographing the swans on Sunday. The wide-angle shots were taken with my new Canon 24-70/2.8 lens. After using the 17-40 f/4 lens for years with the full-frame sensor bodies (1D series) - and always being disappointed with the soft corners, light fall off and barrel distortion - the 24-70 is a refreshing lens. Amazingly sharp and much better performance with a full frame sensor body.

A bit of fun with the wide-angle lens....

Here's my friend Ian with his wide-angle lens at ground level to shoot exaggerated images of the swans.
Very Cool. While I look your first one in flight the best, I'd love an opportunity to photograph Tundra Swans with a wide angle. I'm a sucker for wide angle animal stuff!
