Number two is “cleaner” in that nothing distracts from this lovely bird. I am brand new to rear focus; I just started using it on a trip to Yellowstone where I had someone show me how to set up my 7D to this function. I know that it will soon be second nature, but right now it always gets me when I press my shutter and get no lens response….I immediately want to know “what’s wrong with my equipment??? That said, I am learning to love it. As a strictly amateur photographer, I hope to get better and better as time allows on my quest for birds and mammals in their natural surroundings……I love this stuff so much. And as time and money allow, I hope to also take one of your amazing trips to Bosque Del Apache, one of my favorite places to shoot.

Regards,
Julie
