Short stopover at the zoo

[oeyvind]

Was at the zoo this afternoon just now.

The light was not so good, so do accept my apology for these crap shots...

Wee.. swing swing swing... :P


1/125s f/5.6 ISO 100 @ 420mm, E-TTL flash fired

EF300mm f/4 L IS + EF1.4x II, 550EX

Who are you looking?

1/10s f/5.6 ISO 200 @ 420mm.

EF300mm f/4 L IS + EF1.4x II

Hmmm, can I eat this?


1/60s f/4.0 ISO 400, E-TTL flash fired

EF300mm f/4 L IS, 550EX

At the fragile forest... a common tree nymph (yes I know, the leaf in the way at the end... :-\ )


1/200s f/4.0 ISO 400, E-TTL flash fired

Sigma APO 180mm macro, 550EX

P.S. Just found out that it's not a common tree nymph but an import from TAIWAN, a Idea leuconoe clara

第一張構圖不錯！
為什麼有 IS ，感覺好像還是有手震？

所以我就說嘛，像 IS、VR 這種東西是給年紀大、手會抖的人用的～

[oeyvind]

the IS on EF300mm f/4 is the older version of IS, only allow 2 stops saving and CANNOT be used while on tripod (heard Nikon's VR all cannot be used while on tripod... )

The 1st shot, the young chimp was enjoying himself on the swing... maybe that's why the motion blur. Maybe I should have up the ISO in the 1st one. Maybe should have handheld the shot as well.

P.S. still not very used to my 300mm, need more practise on proper long lens techniques.
