Bro, thanks for sharing such nice set of photos. Are you on DX or FX ? How many mm do you require to shoot at such distance ?

Hello. i was using canon 7D (1.6 crop factor)with a 400mm lens for this event. Lucky the focal length is just nice. :)
 

nice shots! Good exposure, good timing, quite good composition! :thumbsup: !!

Its really a pity that you didnt manage to attend. Perhaps next year can try again.
 

Very nice captures.....your 400mm is it by any chance the 400mm f2.8L?

If it is, looks like the 7D and the 400mm is a very good match.

Yup its the 400mm f2.8 IS lens with 7D. This combo is not bad for this sort of event whereby i can be shooting from a further distance. But AF wise, i still prefer my 1D Mk2N with my 400mm. :)

400mm f2.8 + 7D considered not bad? By the way, can share what you meant by AF wise?

mind sharing pics of your 1D + 400mm combo?

Maybe i didnt put my reply clearly in previous comment. 400mm f2.8 + 7D is not bad in terms of the 1.6x crop factor. In fact better than 1D cos of greater reach. There is no doubt about its image quality.

As for AF wise, i got more in focus shots using the combo with 1D as compared to 7D.

Hope these clarify. :)

Thanks.
