:P


f/5.6, 1/1000, ISO 400 @ 300mm using the 70-300

This was a baby python which was around 8 feet long and weighed almost 50kg.

Musigasm


f/2, 1/160, ISO 800 @ 50mm using the 50 f/1.8

It's the smoke and his expression which give a lot of character to this shot.

Highway to Hell


f/13, 30sec, ISO 200 @ 18mm using the 18-55

This was shot when my camera was barely 15 days old and I didn't own a tripod or a shutter release back then. Kept the camera on a wall and used the self timer of the camera.

Queenie


f/2.8, 1/100, ISO 400 @ 50mm using the 50 f/1.8
Converted into B/W using the Silver Efex Pro plug-in for Photoshop.

f/2.8 is my favourite f-stop number on the nifty fifty lens. The lens is at its sharpest best at this aperture.

Desolation


f/2.5, 1/200, ISO 200 @ 50mm using the 50 f/1.8

I'm not a big fan of this style of processing anymore.

Defying Gravity


f/2.2, 1/320, ISO 1600 @ 50mm using the 50 f/1.8

This is one of my best stage shots.

Rock Pigeon


f/7.1, 1/500, ISO 400 @ 149mm using the 70-300

This is one of the sharpest images from my Sigma 70-300.

Rose Macro


1/40, ISO 200. 

Again, no f-stop number and no focal length as this is a macro shot using the reverse lens technique.

The Journey to Nowhere


f/8, 1/1250, ISO 200 @ 55mm using the 18-55

Lost in Time


f/3.5, 1/1600, ISO 100 @ 18mm

I have no idea why I shot this at such a large aperture when I could easily afforded something like an f/11.

Heron in Flight


f/6.3, 1/2500, ISO 400 @ 300mm using the 70-300

Tracking larger birds like Herons is a lot easier than tracking a Gull or a Pigeon. Used AI-Servo mode with central AF point to track it.
