Winter Flora on the Old Champlain Canal

I took a walk this morning along the old Champlain Canal north of Waterford, one of my new favorites. I brought my 5D Mark III and my EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 lens which I hadn't used in a while.

The image quality of this lens is not stellar and it's a bit on the slow side, light wise. But it's small and compact and sometimes the 24-70mm L lens is a bit limiting on the long end. It hasn't been really cold, and there's no snow so there are some interesting scenes involving weeds, shrubs, etc.

Here a few. I also shot the Capital Area Flute Club performing at Crossgates Mall this afternoon. That will be another blog post.
