Sri Lankan Heave

Quite pleased with this shot: flash photography was not permitted for obvious reasons, and quite a distance away from the athlete. So max zoom on the lens needed, hence fast shutter speed, and hence ISO 1600. A real set-up for a noisy photo. Still, after using Adobe Photoshop CS2 noise reduction, followed by Fred Miranda's Intellisharpen II, the final result isn't too bad. The noise is most noticeable in the "nab" and "Tabaret" ad boards.

Nikon D70
1/400s f/5.6 at 300.0mm iso1600 full exif

Yeah, good question. I asked about this beforehand up at the infomation place in Fed Square, before buying tickets. They didn't see a problem. I checked the Terms & Conditions and nothing prevented big cameras, lenses. And security didn't balk at any of my kit, which comprises body, flash and 4 lenses.

you were allowed to bring in that long lens (300mm)?
