Canon General / Re: Taking DSLRs into olympic venues
« on: August 07, 2012, 12:14:45 PM »
I took 5D2 + 24-105L + 70-200 2.8L II + 2x Converter into Eton Dorney, Lea Valley and ExCel
Didn't even rate a second look at any of these venues
They were in a Lowepro Toploader + attached Lens case

Amazing lens
This shot taken hand-held at 1/15 and @200mm!
I had the lens rented this week (not for Squirrel pictures) and really do not want to give it back!

Like others have said - no hassle getting camera and lenses in. The soldiers on security were fantastic.

It was very dark in the ExCel - and the Sabre is fast!

Different people enjoy experiences in different ways - you are assuming that the taking of pictures is to create memories, not for the pleasure of taking photos itself

« on: July 27, 2012, 07:53:46 AM »Considering spectators aren't being allowed to use camera gear longer than 300mm and not everyone can be trackside, I think it'll be quite tricky to get top-notch shots.
The actual rules are no equipment longer than 30cm in length:

A Canon EF 400mm f/4 DO IS USM Lens with a 1.4x Converter would get you under the line, and considerably more than 300mm.
I am taking a 70-200mm and a 2x converter, because I think I'll need the f2.8 in the ExCel

Fantastic work - really striking images - the lighting in the first two is superb.
If you want some feedback, the one I like the least is the bikini model (well not the model
- just the photo).
I find the pose awkward - she looks like she is trying to do a one armed sit-up - and the highlights in the water are blown. However, the lighting of her and her skin tone are great...
