National Day Parade Rehearsal Fireworks. I've gone missing from ClubSNAP for almost a year; just got my verification done. Nice new interface; very nice! Congrats! Admins. NDP 2018 Rehearsal Fireworks (21st July) by macVince VSSChang, on Flickr NDP 2018 Rehearsal Fireworks (21st July) by...

Migratory Bird Season 2017 | Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve | Singapore Migratory birds are beginning to arrive in increasing numbers from this month. The numbers should increase significantly in Oct and Nov with rarer ones to be seen. I share a few photos I took in the last two weekends...

Thanks. For Pic 3, I got it right on ND itself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fireworks - NDP 2017 [Rehearsal] I was surprised at myself that I've been absent from ClubSnap for quite a long time. Anyway, I thought I would share some recently taken photos in this thread; I've not taken any fireworks before except for a tryout once at River Hongbao during CNY this year...

Permit me to share with you this: Here are two examples of what a relatively inexpensive long zoom lens could produce - the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary fitted on an EOS 80D. I used the Sigma 1.4x Extender for the Moon; and without it for the Bird. Both the lens and extender have been...

Unless you try to split hair, both the Tamron & Sigma 150-600 are just as good, judging from my birding friends' photos. Unlike using a FF camera, all of the edge or corner softness issues are quite irrelevant when an EF lens is on an APS-C body. I don't own a FF camera so I don't know how it...

I am using the 80D Kit II (18-135), so I'm on common ground with you. My suggestion, from a practical and not technical point of view, would be: 1. If you're new to photography, you already have a good camera & lens. Experiment taking at Av mode 24mm, f/4 to f/8, ISO in Auto and you will be...

With a budget of $1500, you might want to consider staying with APS-C and buy a new 80D body instead and continue using it with your EF lenses. It is unlikely you'll regret the decision if so.

Thanks. It's good for the budget-conscious, to take birds or distant objects like the moon; provided, he or she tempers the expectations that the images won't match large primes' performance (e.g. 300mm f/2.8 plus extender or 600mm f/4). :cool: (A day before) Full Moon by Vince, on Flickr...

I've been using it for a year or so, with the 70D last year, and the 80D currently. Not so spectacular like some photos you see in World of Nature taken with long, bright primes. Within my limited budget and skills, I have been quite happy with it. For airshow, it is reasonably good; the...

Closing this thread. Camera sold 😃

Camera sold. Thread closed.

There is no best place. One place is Canon SG itself. If you have an old Canon camera (any model, working or failed) you can order an 80D with a discount from SRP when you hand in the old camera. This is called PPP or Privilege Purchase Programme. Go to Canon SG in Fusionpolis to find out more...

It should be delivered to you soon, within 1-3 days. The airplane that brought the shipment here has departed SG for its next destination. Your package is being sorted by the local company handling it, could be SingPost or a courier based here. The final stage is it will be handed to the...
