Well for me, i was using a 300 2.8 and a 1.4x TC and it still wasn't long enough Next time i go Oran Park/Wakefield i'll take a 500, for those nice tight shots.

damn and here i was thinking my 70-200 was good enough for wakefield..

but you are right.. You need atleast 400 for wakefield.

Perhaps a nice 100-400 lens will be good!!

Nice shots btw

A 70-200 is sufficient but severe cropping is needed for those really nice tight shots. I use my 70-200 sometimes when i go there, but would rather use a 500 (although its a bitch to get a sharp panning shot with one!!) Although heat haze and atmospheric haze comes into play at those lengths sometimes which sucks.

I had a 100-400 but i sold it. Was soft wide open at 400 and backfocusing like crazy, i just couldn't deal with it, sent it to canon and they said nothing was wrong with it, so i ended up losing $500 on it.

Wow impressive tank! (I Think). I've been staring at it for 10minutes wondering whether to write nice tank or nice TV!!! But now my mind is set its a tank!

No problems, will let you know next time i'm heading out to wakefield!

[siddr20]

Thank you that means a lot!!

Quite an expensive hobby, but very rewarding

Cool hopefully i can find a job soon now that uni is about to finish.. Really miss my 70-200!!

just a few random snaps when I was on vacation, not trying to be artistic, just wanted to share

some were taken with an iphone, some with a camera

got the chance to visit my old army barracks in the philippines as some parts are open to the public and is used as a tourist attraction, I didn't get the chance to see my old room and proving grounds up close unfortunately, I would've needed the proper documentation and would've had to request clearance at least a day in advance

my fathers family live in Baguio city, a large city in a mountainous area in the northern philippines, the scenery is very beautiful and my pics do not do them justice, here is one example on the outskirts of the city maybe a half hour drive up the mountains

another tourist attraction, an old church run by spanish missionaires from as early as the 1700s (I think) the church itself is blocked off for heritage preservation reasons, but the long stairway leading to them and the sculpture of mary at the top is still draws a lot of pilgrims

they have giftshops and food stalls along the way up, it's a long climb this pic was taken from about 1/4 of the way up

some pics of the hotel my family stayed at

a 'jeepney' my aunt owns, they own about 5 all up, and are used as taxis. some are original troop carriers from wwII left by the americans

phew that's enough from me, I'll include some more pics from when I stayed in Hong Kong when I can be bothered
