edit: nevermind, google says it can..
edit: also Dave, what settings did you use on the photo of the girls playing lacrosse in the rain? Did you use a tripod?
no tripod, just pouring rain and stadium lighting... The stadium lighting created really nice fill and the rain did its part. The right lighting when you take the shot is far more critical than what you can do in PS... That said, the shadow/highlight adjustment is your friend as long as you're not an idiot with it.

Nice! That looks more like an illustration than a photograph.

I'm not so sure it's legal to take pics of stuff like that.

Some buildings have copyrights, true, but other than that, you're pretty free to take pictures of whatever you want.

Also Fan, I saw on your page that you made a picture inside a mall in Thailand, I'm surprised that managed to do that.
When I wanted to take pictures inside Siam Paragorn, a security guard aproached to say I couldn't take any pictures

Would you guys ever consider a sigma lens? The Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 EX DG MACRO HSM seems like a very good alternative for the Canon EF 70-200 F/2.8. It apparantely has good performance and is much cheaper then the Canon. Just wanna know what you think about Sigma.

I have the Canon, I'd buy it again... The color and sharpness are on par with a prime. I wouldn't buy it with IS because if you're shooting something you need IS for, you should probably get closer and use a shorter lens.

So rather save up for the Canon then buying the Sigma then?

Just been checking Thai camera sites and they offer the 2.8 for 39,500 baht or €963 ($1,300). Seems quit cheap compared to €1300 overhere. Might ask my father to buy me one

Well that's different
Should have shown more of your face/eyes. Give a bit more personality to it.
