Lens + Pond + Foxes Updates.

Hi all,

I'll start with the bad news. When photographing the fox cubs on Friday, my 100-400mm lens broke. The image started jumping around in the viewfinder when nothing was moving. I took the lens in for repair, the news was that the Image Stabilisation unit in the lens had broken (apparently very easily done, as even the weight of the lens on it's own can break it!). This means the lens needs to go back to Canon for repair. This means I'm without lens for a while, which couldn't have come at a worse time, not only have the cubs started coming out, but it's my final year and final project on my photography course, so being without a lens isn't really an option. Luckily SnowPoring is lending me a lens so I can finish my final project. My lens will be at Canon for some weeks getting repaired, the final cost for it is £310 So if anyone was ever thinking of buying a print of some kind, now would be a good time! lol. But seriously, please contact me if you where thinking of it

In other news the cubs seem to be doing well, the most I've seen together is still 6, though a part of me thinks there might be 7 for some reason. I've made a play list on YouTube where I will keep adding videos, for those of you who don't use YouTube, you can just bookmark this page and check from time to time. I recently added a new video of mum with the cubs. Here is the play list: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=… . As well as this Jo (FantasticFennec) came over and got some shots of the cubs & lizards, here is one of her shots:
