Use a long telephoto lens, preferably longer than 200mm ;) Cheers

For event shots like these, I seldom used f/2.8, as you want to have some depth of field and also to be in the range where the lens have maximum sharpness, usually around f/5 and above. Given the current cameras' high ISO capability, you can bump up the ISO to get proper exposure. Most of the...

Thanks guys for the comments. Supremo68, like everyone else I was shooting through the fence. So it is still possible to get good pictures, if you choose your vantage points properly. :) Cheers

#11 More of the Backstreet Boys (men now!) #12 #13

#6 Now, Vettel is less than a second behind in hot pursuit before a Drive Through penalty thwarted his challenge... #7 Not a good race for BMW Sauber despite the good qualifying results #8 Chaka Khan in concert.. #9 Another shot of the Chaka, amazing voice (4 octave)...

Some pictures taken over the weekend to share with all. Enjoy #1 Hamilton, at the Driver's Parade #2 Nico Rosberg, #3 Hamilton leading the pack, building a nice gap in the first stint #4 Vettel, chasing from behind... #5 Safety car was deployed but Hamilton...

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Just a question, are you suggesting that the lines should meet somewhere else? :D Let's share :) Cheers

My regular shooting partner uses a 1Ds Mk3 and myself a D700. First of all, all the specs mean nothing until you have first hand experience of shooting with it, or against it. Yes, the 21MP sensor has got better resolution, but how much better? Would anyone be able to tell on computer...

Actually there were some restrictions as I explained earlier. I do agree that the tree is a little distracting, and if you look carefully my camera with tripod is already on the edge of the little wall, any further I would have to mount the tripod on the concrete blocks and subject the camera to...

Hi, what do you suggest then? :) Cheers

Hi All, Thanks for the comments. First of all, there were plenty of constraints that left me with limited options on the composition. I had to find a subject for the picture, and the only thing that was available was that slab of concrete block which happens to be some sort of...

I took this long exposure picture after being impressed with the work of Atta Kim. This was taken in Morib Coast of West Malaysia at 7:47pm. The reason I took this picture is to depict a sense of peace, and yet with it emptiness. The following is the settings used: D700, 20-35mm AF-D, ISO...

I would have to echo Ortega's opinion. Irrespective of whether it's a fast lens or one with VR, the new batch of Nikon cameras with high ISO capability is the answer to low-light photography. A fast lens usually offers 2-3 stops advantage over kit lens (similarly VR lens as well), which is...

I have actually used the 20-35mm on my D700 with great results. Cheers
