Where I'm from, they're called "Czech Eggs," and when I was student teaching in Art, we made them for weeks on end! Thanks to the previous poster who recommended the Best Pysanky website--I've now just purchased myself a kit!

I have had the opportunity to shoot with the 100-400mm f/4-5.6. It's a great lens, obviously! When it comes down to it, there's really no question--go with the one that allows you to change your focal length without having to walk closer or further away from your subject. Especially, as you...
