Lens Test on Sydney Harbour

[LostDingo]

I decided to have a wander and a night shoot on my own with my new lens. Not being the most intelligent person I also decided to go on the Eve of New Years Eve

Anyway I did manage to get on Mrs. MacQuaries Chair although much of the access at the time was very limited and security was everywhere.

On with the lens......I received as a very suprising Christmas pressie a 70-200 vr lens.....very suprised and have wanted once since it's inception.

The photos below are from this and I couldn't be happier with the results. The night was very humid and you may notice the thick/wet and humidity laiden clouds which moved in quickly. The clouds however did add for interesting reflective lighting.

Nice and sharp! Great series of shots.

Out of interest was this handheld or tripod?

Paul - can't see the pics - get a go to pixspot to view the image placeholder

LostDingo - I was enjoying the thread, but unfortunately for me and may

be others, PixSpot.com must be down

Moving on, you will enjoy your new lens, 'FAST' and 'SHARP'

I can see the pics. Well done, especially considering the humidity last night!

Just having breakfast. Then I'm cleaning the house - recovery party starts at 2pm and the air con is on already

[LostDingo]

All....updated with the url so hope it works!

Nito, both were tripod mounted 30s @ f14

[fozzie]

LostDingo - still no results for me

First one - 'No image to display'

Second one - 'The page cannot be found'

Must be the heat or heat + humidity

[stubbsy]

Sorry Paul, still no workie First link takes me to Pixspot, but shows a blank square with "No image to display" Seconde link you've got an extra [/url] at the end, but if I remove that and use it I still get the go to pixspot graphic. This is all very weird that it works for some, but not for others. I'm wondering if Pixspot may have banned hotlinking for certain ip addresses only

Print them to super A3 size and and post them to each viewer
Happy New Year to you & Ross.

I like your idea....not I think it's doesn't work for some because of the pirate Hong Kong $2 software and others because of visiting too many porn sites

My monitor doesn't support A3 paper viewing......... I'll just have A4 instead

All I did to see them on my mac was right click (or option+click with single button) and 'copy image address'. Then paste into new window, voila.

By the way, these are fantastic pictures. Really high quality.

Are you open to selling your images? There is a chance that I may need an image of this type in the coming months. A small chance but a chance nonetheless.

Thanks Heath, always open for an opportunity even if it's a small chance

[Heath Bennett]

Well even if it doesn't end up eventuating, I can't really give a higher compliment!

[Greg S]

Two lovely images, no 2 is my favorite. BTW The pasted image locations work in IE ok but not Firefox

Cheers

[robboh]

Stunning pics Paul. Well done.

[marcotrov]

The architecture of the Opera house is fascinating, Sydney harbour is so photogenic... Like the second one with the modern lines of the Opera house sails posed against the old bridge, terrific color...

[Alpha_7]

I see them and they are Gorgeous! Great work! Love the blue tones, and also how damn sharp they are!

[sirhc55]

I can’t see them either - I even went to Pixspot users gallery and there isn’t a gallery for LostDingo

[Alpha_7]

Weird that I can see all the Pixspots links, so far they have all worked for me.. (so they can't ALL be cached).

[marcotrov]

A bit frustrating with pixspot. I had to right click on the url lostdingo gave us, go down to properties and copy/paste the image url into a new window to see that great photo of the operahouse and bridge but then it didn't work for the first url. Who knows? I've just joined 'flickr' i'll see how that goes later.
