Club Balai Isabel (feat. coworkers)

Nice place; good times.

I also got to test drive a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS (owned by Gil Paredes). Not much compared to the fancier L lenses, but it's relatively cheap and compact; ideal for those who want to travel light.

...and action shots.






















(-2/3 EV)
Typical set of night shots. For all photographs taken outside a well-lit room, expect negative exposure values.

Shooting a 250mm f/5.6 at 0.5 meters for (pseudo)macro with shallow depth of field...


... or 15 meters for unobstrusive candid shots.

More boke. I believe Einhard was handling the camera for this shot.








Now I'm stuck trying to decide between EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS (for compactness), EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM (for a little more focal length without having to rob a bank), or EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L IS USM (for uncompromised image sharpness). Not that I'd be able to afford any of these within the next one or two years anyway.
