This was shot of former Miss California USA, Katie Blair, with the Canon 5D Mark II with the 70-200mm f/2.8 II lens at a focal length of 70mm, aperture setting of f/5.6

The f/2.8 70-200mm lenses by both Canon and Nikon provide a wonderful focal length on a full frame SLR body, quite versatile on location, particularly with IS or VR features.

This article wraps up the benefits pretty well, mentioning the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 II as the "near-perfect portrait lens, ideal for mixed situations"

I thought it looked familiar - I recently purchased a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom.

Well, I have an update to my last post...so now, my new obsession is pro hockey. My 21-year old just signed his 1st 3-year deal to play with the Montreal Canadians (our NHL hockey team)! We couldn't be happier than we are at this moment. No more giving away those season tickets! LOL

Stefan Fournier? Congrats. Kid with a mean streak, toughness and some offensive upside is what the Habs need. Hope he makes the show soon.

Yup, dats me boy! Thanks! Kid's as tough as nails...and my guess is he makes the show by year of his contract. I'm betting we'll see a few call-ups before Xmas 2013. He's weighing in now at 222 @ 6'4" - a beast. I made him a deal last year, that if he got an entry level contract before the 2013-2014 season, I'd give him my Duramax 2500, which I'd spent a lot of time on lifting / building etc...so on July 5th, he called me from the camp and told me to get it ready for Sunday, because he'd just signed. We more or less knew it was coming, but there's nothing like seeing it on paper!

We were just out your way in Sask to see them win the mem cup back in May. And my 2nd oldest, Dillon, was drafted by the Blackhawks in 2012 and should be signed before next June! My 3rd one just got drafted to the QMJHL and we hope to see him drafted to the NHL in 2 years. As I said
