Saw this guy there...

He was using a 2x somemore...(not in photo)


Took this (1D II + 70-200 f2.8L IS)

May be going down again tomorrow to try shooting with a 300mm. Was drizzling jus now and my camera took a slight shower... :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

 

[oeyvind]

400/2,8 + 1.6x body... wah.

Anyway, dun think it's a good idea to use any ballhead with a heavy lens like that and a monopod.

 

[szekiat]

haha. guilty as charged. It actually works quite alright for me leh tim. Dunno, i've been using that setup for a while with no problems. Don't fix what is not broken i guess. Its usually locked anyway.

Oh, so you were that guy???

My humble attempts... First time shooting with a 20D. Still not used to the camera compared to my usual 1D/1D2. Oh well. Must adapt. Nice camera, nice championship!
