Hi all,

Click here for the 1280x853 resolution images (all displayed on one page).

My apologies for the delay.

I didn't have proper first light until last night.

These shots were taken especially in low light to try and give the autofocus and high ISO performance a run for its money in trying conditions. I am very, very impressed. The aim was to present the images as they came out of the camera; as a result these images have had little to no processing done on them. The first image was shot with the 17-40mm f/4L, the next five were shot using the 200mm f/2.8L II USM, and the last two were shot using the 17-40mm f/4L.

Something to keep in mind is that except for the last, the rest of these images were taken handheld as I forgot to bring my quick release plate.

I even managed to make use of the HD video capabilities using the 17-40mm f/4L. I put my camera on my friend's tripod (took the last image) and then just turned the video feature on. Just as I did, a swan decided to paddle past, and then a second one. It was just wonderful!

1/250s f/8.0 at 40.0mm iso200
1/160s f/4.0 at 200.0mm iso800
1/160s f/2.8 at 200.0mm iso2000
1/100s f/2.8 at 200.0mm iso3200
1/160s f/2.8 at 200.0mm iso1000
1/160s f/2.8 at 200.0mm iso2500
1/20s f/4.0 at 17.0mm iso1250
20s f/11.0 at 40.0mm iso100

I appreciate any comments and critiques, and any questions.

Regards,
Humayun
