An Old Body Still Gets it Done

[photoflyer]

Do you have an old (camera) body or lens that still gets great results? If so, share a few recent shots.

I purchased a 30D this summer at Goodwill for next to nothing. This 8 megapixel beauty became my "4th string" body. Saturday I went kayaking on the Potomac and wanted to bring a real camera but minimize risk. The 30D with my "3rd string" zoom (70-300 EF 4.0-5.6 USM) got the call.

I spotted this Egret and began stalking it along the shoreline. I was pleasantly surprised with the results given the limitations of the autofocus, megapixels, and how much the kayak was getting bounced around by significant wave action.

Sometimes using older equipment presents fun challenges.

Old saying, "it isn't the gear, it is the photographer."

Good job.
