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!
