I originally got my telephoto lens to take close up pictures of wildlife without scaring my subjects off. However, I've noticed that it also allows me to take pictures of my family without them knowing I'm taking a picture of them. I have been pleased with the results. I took this picture of my kids at the bus stop on the same foggy morning as the previous post. 210 mm, ISO 200, F/13, 1/50 sec exposure.

Fall is a great time for taking morning pictures. The increasing hours of darkness allow the air to cool to it's dewpoint and creats some great morning fog. 145 mm, 200 ISO, F/13, 1/80 sec exposure.

Last picture of a monarch caterpiller, this time a small one. If I was a good photographer, I would have photoshopped out all the dead flies and milkweed "milk", but that would take too long. 300 mm, ISO 200, F/13, 1/3 sec. exposure.
