Went down to the local beach to test m 70-210 f4 macro and to upset the local wildlife[IMG]http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd72/geordie2831/crab.jpg[/IMG]

That crab definitely looks upset

Some interesting colouration on the crab. I've only ever seen pieces of them on rough coastline and though it was algae growing that made it green, not its colour when alive.

Never found a live starfish, other echinoderms I have but not photographed.

They're good

Pleasingly sharp pictures. Looks like a good lens.
Best wishes,

Nice captures

The crab certainly does look a bit miffed.

The lens does seem to be a decent performer
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

When they reach maturity they are bright orange underneath and really aggressive this one was only an inch across the shell but had loads of attitude.
(no crustations were harmed in this experiment)

Yep, that crab is clearly having a bad hair day!

Was it peeling? If so you should of peeled it, hooked it and cast it out for a tasty meal
Nope to early for peelers up here
