Adam what were you using?

 

I took my 200 and 300 lenses and the 200 was alright as its a 2.8 but didnt have the length.. I was gunna rent out a 400 2.8 which had USM and IS, would have been perfect i think.. Always next year though :D

Hi Matt, i used an older version of the Nikon 300mm f2.8 (without VR), i also took along my 70-200 f2.8 (VR).

 

Where were you sat?

 

The last 30 pictures i took on my 200mm.

 

It was pushing both me and the camera to the limit, with it set to 800iso (250 -350th/sec @ f2.8), i did use a monopod to help..

 

The whole thing looked stupidly big and i did hit my daughter around the head a few times when i swung the lens around :oops:

 

But i am glad ya all liked them.. and Splatty - thats my fav as well :) It was worth going for that snap...

P.s I forgot to mention, that the gallery software has two sizes of the actual photo, the size that Splatty has linked - and if you click on it you get this size: Bigger piccy

 

Thats the same with all the photos..

 

thx..

Used 100-400 IS,800 iso...struggled like mad but have learnt from it.

Will have upgraded my gear by next year so maybe better, would have loved to have been on one of the photogrphers stands. :D

I know what you mean about learning..

If i am where in the same place next year (and it was perfect for the crashes) i will hire a 400mm VR lens (not sure what the equivilant in Canon is?)

 

I could go to 1600iso with very little noise level, i know Mike Patrick sometimes runs at 3200iso to get the action shots (hence the noise on some shots)...

 

I had a 2x convertor which provided me with up 850mm (with the 1.5x factor of digi and the 300mm lens) but this proved too much...
