Sydney as good as ever..

[Darren Howie]

After a long time between drinks i spent a few days testing my new 400 in Sydney over the last week or so.
Got some decent stuff along the foreshore at night and thought you guys may be interested to see what the new 400 can do.
Perfect airport for this lens...perfect.
Hanging out brought back some great memories of shooting around Sydney and many trips and airports later its still one of the best in the world.
Love it..
Hope you like....

I love the picture of the QF 400 touching down with reversers and lights all on.

Thanks for the tip Chris. Can these lens be bought for under $10k in Australia?

Great photos Darren (very envious) :-)

Great shots, sharpest night shots I have seen in a while (better than my day shots).

The QF 747 has it's reverse thrusters on while the nose is still up. That cannot be proper procedures can it?

Hi Guys
Thanks!!
Spot on Chris...
As for ISO most around the 1600 mark its no point going higher when the lens is RAZOR sharp at 2.8.
Like to see your slow stuff Chris!
Sorry i missed you Monday was actually doing work stuff for a few hours so didnt get to Brighton till around 4 just in time for Thai to depart in the sun..lol.
Only sun all day i think...oh other than the SQ Dugong!!
Got the lens for under 10 in Singapore...great having a big dollar overseas at the moment.
One thing i did learn is i need to spend more time in Sydney on days off!!

A few more if you like..

Very good shots there, Darren!

I've recently saw some of your old photos and it's very nice to see the return of a photographer from the good ol' days!

By the way, excellent shot of ''Yananyi Dreaming". I haven't seen any night shots of that bird until now!

Hi Shane
Thanks for that..
It's pretty amazing how lucky we are with Sydney..airports like AMS are not what they used to be.
It's far easier to get various angles at Sydney now than Amsterdam I think after my most recent visit.
It's super having a great airport in your own back yard!
