New Lens, dogs and pieces of dogs

I am just learning with this lens. A new, to me, 300 Prime, I took it out back and played.
It is not heavy to hold, but it is heavy to carry. And I don't know how to hold it yet. My hand wants to hold it at the ring that turns, but that is the manual focus, and it messes up the autofocus when I do that.
I love it, though. If nothing else, I could carry that thing around and get respect. It looks wicked to me! I would bet all the white ones do.
There is a lot I still need, but not much I will be getting, just little stuff. We could sure use a bigger back yard, and a whole dog.

After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

The DOF is quite amazing. In the photo above you can see the dog is sharp at the nose and already softening by the ears. We're talking inches here.
Have fun!

P.S. You'll notice from your photo above the one thing that I regularily have to think about on my 20D, which is the focus point. As you can tell, your camera focused on the nose because it was the closest point to the camera. The photo would have been better if focuses on the eyes. Just something to watch for ...

A single photograph can tell an entire story and bring back a multitude of memories.
I have to read more about it. I kept holding it on the ring that focuses it manually, that threw off the AF. There is just a small area that doesn't move anything. And my dogs had to be at the end or sides of the yard for the camera to focus at all. That would not be my lens of choice for that small townhouse backyard. In a few days I will get the 17-40 from fish, and I will take it out back too. Should be an interesting comparison. Now I need something in the middle, but I can't afford it.
It is late to say this, but I did nothing to those photographs. I brought them up from RAW, didn't do anything there either, except to change the WB to shade or cloudy for the changing conditions. I did nothing else.
It was a truly no RAW, no PS event. I should have said that. I posted these and went to bed. Just woke up. Was exhausted.

If anyone can help me on how to deal with holding the lens so that I don't end up changing the focus, please feel free to comment.
use the single center point. If you have the tripod color on the lens, place it
in the palm of your left hand and hold the camera with your right.
Good luck!
