Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM

I looked high and low for some of bornshooter's Scottish bikini models - they must have been indoors preserving their fair skin! There are street kids EVERYWHERE in Manila - and for a few pesos these two stayed in one place long enough for this shot...

A trip to Manila was the first chance I had to use the new 24-70... One of my favorite things there are the Jeepneys - they just make me grin... Really enjoy this piece of glass...

Well, a jeepney is indeed a great subject to shoot ;).. But a pain in the ass to be driving side by side with them in the streets of Manila. >:( Thanks for sharing! :)

Nice shot. For an ND grad rookie here: how did you orient and use a 3-stop ND grad with the tall 'horizon' created with those tourist binoculars in the foreground? Do you have to mask out the binoculars and brighten the part shaded by the ND grad in post-processing?

I really like that shot of the volcano.

I already want the lens, still about 4 more months for me to afford it. (Gusto ko na)

Thanks. The volcano in that image is the smallest volcano in the world. :) As for this lens, it is indeed worth of the investment.

Thanks. I rotated the filter to approximately 225° instead of the usual 180° orientation as I only aimed to darken the small patch of light. The telescope, on the other hand, was only partly shaded by ND grad filter. Thereafter I dodged the telescope to brighten it a bit, too. Cheers! :)
