X-Wing parking only - Fox Studios Australia

[RockSlut]

My last few hours in Sydney were spend wandering around Fox Studios. It's not everyday you see a X-wing fighter, so I thought I should take a few photos.

All shot hand-held @ ISO 3200 f/2.8 with a 20D and Tamron 28-75mm. At times like this I wish I had the foresight to carry a tripod with me.

Cool! Just like beggers canyon back home!

That's really cool!! Did you use any noise editing software with those? Your photos look pretty clean at ISO 3200, and I think you've pretty much sold me on buying a 20D and shown yet another place I must go when I visit Australia.

Paul - here is an unprocessed 100% crop from the series.

The 20D's high ISO performance is great, and the main reason I opted for the 20D over a 300D or 350XT. It's not preferable to use all the time, but I regularly get usable photos at ISO 3200.

Hey that's pretty good for that light level...sheesh.

The 20D's high ISO performance is great, and the main reason I opted for the 20D over a 300D or 350XT.

350D and 20D have identical high ISO performance.

I just wish the 350D had 3200 ISO for situations like those.

P.S. Don't you love that Tamron? I just got mine today and holy cow it's never coming off this camera ever.
