Took a spur of the moment trip out to Lower Seletar with some friends to try to catch the sunset. Weather was hazy, foggy and overcast. So in the end, I took out my 10-stop ND filter and did some long exposures for some BW action.

The Little Cannon

Finally yielded and got myself a F2.8 tele-zoom. It is not a small or light one too. The build and weight of this one looks perfectly fitting to the nickname photographers in Asia gave this lens - The Little Cannon (小钢炮). Introducing my Nikon AF 80-200/2.8D ED.

The little cannon mounted on my camera. Not very 'little'.

Output is extremely sharp and crisp.

100% crop of the picture above with no adjustments, jpeg (basic) straight out of cam. You can even see the reflection of the softbox and the reflector in the eyeball.
