Hi,

These were some pictures that I took last November and only until now I have time to touch them...

Well... Nothing fancy... Basically just use my 40D + 70-200 f2.8 L. Image Stablizer is pretty useless here as you will need highest shutter speed possible... Initially more shots are blur because I was using ISO1600 and was hesitate to use ISO3200. At ISO3200, there were visible noise at 100%. I wish I have a 1D mark III for its ISO3200, super-sensitive autofocusing + 10fps performance.

It is more of a test to my 40D on its autofocusing tracking as well as knowing the noise performance at ISO3200.

You guys might notice the constrast & shadow might be a bit harsh compare to my usual pictures because of the hard lighting; ya... stupid sport light.

Surpriselly, I did not see any profesionals around at the show... I guess the interests on this events were lower compare to others.

As usually, none of the pictures been gone throught fancy photoshop nor any cropping. Any comments are welcome.

But in Europe... hahaha, the number of professionals there is like fashion runway like that.

indoor @ outdoor?

ISO3200 a bit serious for outdoor lol....light not enough?

nice pic there

Anuar zain ma...

Initially some shots are using ISO1600.... then later only realise some time pictures blur... So ma increase to my camera maximum ISO3200 lo...

So her name is Ellen Whitaker. She is young and pretty ma... How did you know her name?

It is a bit surprise that all people that I had shown these pictures thought it was taken outdoor...

The event hosted in Bukit Jalil Stadium... Lighting is bad... and camera equiptments are critically important... Trust me on this part.. Even my 40D + 70-200 f2.8 L, my sucess rate are still around 30% keepers only... I saw one guy using D200... but looking at the pictures no keepers at all.. Most likely he do not know how to take pictures yet... D300 was not born at the time yet, ok?

I do wish I have the hyper-sensitive autofocusing EOS 1D mark III that is best for this event... I would say with that camera, at least 80% are keeper... some more much lower noise at ISO3200...

Oh... ok.. thanks... So he is number # in Malaysia male singer? around top 10?

I know her name is just like u guys noe Ronaldo on the football field. She is very young. Only 22 years old this year. She comes from a whole family of showjumpers so no surprise there.

Lolz, I think its because people associate horses with outdoors.
