I think I had my hair styled like this back in the 80s!

Today is Mikal's 21st birthday.  And if we could, for a moment, liken having a baby to opening a bottle of wine, well the cork is out - if you get my drift - so we are thinking our precious granddaughter will be born anytime.  I'll keep ya posted. :)

  21. I shoot indoor fast action club volleyball shots of my daughter and her team. I have a Canon EOS Rebel XTi camera. I get the best (non blurry) shots with a rented EF70- 200 mm f/2.8 IS lens. I cannot bring myself to spend $1500 plus to purchase this lens, plus it is so heavy. I'm not a professional and would only use it to capure my daughter's sporting events. I noticed that Canon has a new lens - EF-S 18-200 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS and the price is a lot more affordable. Do you think I could get similiar stop action non blurry shots with this lens as opposed to the EF80-200 mm f.28 lens? I'd appreciate your opinion.
    Thanks.
