New moon shots
It was a clear sky last night so I set up the 100-400mm with 2x extender on the Manfrotto on the front porch.
Here are 2 keepers:

100-400mm does AFL Footy
Took the 100-400mm lens to the footy last night and got a few keepers.
Lighting not great so high ISO required to get the shutter fast enough to stop the action.
These shots were taken from Row O on level 1.
The lens performed very well under the conditions.

The Zoo. A great place to share some tips.
A mate of mine (Mate = Friend for any non Aussie readers) has a Canon 7D like me and asked me to show him a few things I had learned along the way.
Well I'm still very much a learner too but took the invitation as an opportunity to learn more myself.
Now where do you go to get some good shots on an ordinary day with a good chance of coming home with some keepers?
The Zoo.
My mate has a kit lens so I put my 24-70 L series lens on his body and put my 100-400 L IS on mine and off we went.
We had a great day and came home with more experience and some nice shots.
Here's my fav. But even this was a reminder to be more aware of the camera settings. Shutter was a bit slow. There is a bit of motion blur that could have been avoided with more care.

Venus Transit
It was a much anticipated event and a bit touch and go on the question of how the weather would hold out.
But all went according to plan and I got a few OK shots. Certainly not an easy shot to take.
I bought some double coat aluminium filter material from the local Telescope guy and stuck it to a P series Cokin filter. Not sure if that was the problem but I couldn't get a decent focused shot.
The best ones are on the link below:
