Some long range photography

Went out to Sydney airport today and exercised the 80-200 with a 2X convertor. Total focal length equal to 600mm.
The first pic shows the destructive effect of heat haze. A common problem when using long lenses on a hot day.

QANTAS sshould pay you for the third shot. They are all neat an in the middle. Is that your own 80-200 Matt?

It is an older F/2.8 push/pull AF lens. It does a nice job. By the way...I beleive in the end...we know everything. It comes to us at the exact moment of death. We just don't get time to pass it on.

You should send that last one in to the Terror Hotline. That bloke jumping the fence looks dodgy.

I am amazed the AFP didn't arrest you, or were they taken from a speeding Volvo?

A quick question for you? When I upload to pbase some of the exif data seems to disappear (ISO etc) but you seem to have been able to keep it in your shots.
Is there an easy trick to this?
Cheers

I'm not sure why this is happening. I download my images to the desktop using Nikon Transfer. I have set this program to capture the full Exif by clicking on the little tool icon at top right and clicking in the box that refers to the Exif. I then process in Photoshop CS and resize for Pbase in CS before saving into a folder. It may be you are not capturing all of the Exif when you initially download from the camera....but that's just a guess.

Thanks Matt. I think because I don't use nikon transfer that is the problem. I just drag the photos accross to my c: drive from the card reader in the laptop using explorer (I hear the good workflow people gasping)

G'day,
I might be a heathen, but all I've ever done is cut and paste from the card reader to my hard drive... I never thought that would make any diff as you're copying the entire file etc...
Cheers,
Mudder.
