Was in Temple of Heaven today, so take a few photos.

All images was shot with Minolta Dimage 7Hi and process in Photoshop. Oh by the way, I added Blue sky on second photos... obvious?

Thanks... Yes, classic way of presenting images... vignetting using burning.

I have a way of converting B&W seems to work fine... easier to show you if I see you...

hahaha.. yes, Beijing's sky is often just grey!!!!! I am here twice already, and each time spend about 2-3 weeks here, everytime, the sky is just grey!! only 1 day out of a total of 6 weeks that I see pale blue sky.

I am not that far back, just after the temple where I took the shot.

Talk about the effectiveness of AS. It really rocks!

Picture taken at 1/2 Second, hand held. No sharpening done.

And guess which lens I used. (Hint: if you have followed my other thread)

Nice shot, like the 1st one more though.

mmm, the colours from the 170-500 aren't too bad actually. good alternative for those who want the reach but reluctant to fork out too much.

nice timing with the flying duck :thumbsup:

Thanks. Lucky shot, able to approach the bird within 5m and use the 300mm with built-in flash for fill.

The 170-500 is ok at smaller aperture (f7 - f8). Good for resting bird. AF speed is not too great. The shot was one or few that manage to focus properly. Got lots of other better in-flight action, but not focus properly. Didn't try manual focus. :think:

Overall it's a value lens for a 500mm. Now looking to try out BIGMA or the Tamron 200-500. Anyone know if these two are better in term of focus speed and sharpness ?

perhaps a sigma 70-200 with 2X convertor? heard that the AF speed is still pretty decent.

More birds in flight shot...now with the SIGMA 70-200 f2.8 EX (waiting for new owner to collect). Easier to track and AF.

:bigeyes: that large? i thought 200mm cannot really take birds upclose. guess 200 and 300mm makes a big difference, cos i always stuck at the 200mm of my A1 and find it too un-tele.

 

[tankm]

If I remember correctly, those are taken with the 1.4x SIGMA APO TC + 70-200. Can't be sure, cause the EXIF doesn't show the focal length changes due to the TC. This was taken more than a month back at JBP. :think:

Sit closer to the stage and there's no need for longer focal lens.
