I thought this was the most apt category for this thread, so please advise me if there's a more appropriate venue.

This is all about snipers out there, taking real photos of/by DPPers using long, large lenses in action. Lenses that, in many ways, look humungus relative to the shooter and/or the DSLR.

Photos only, please. Avoid posting those youtube (and the like) links regarding real bazookas and rocket launchers.

I'll start.

Tok Paler and his 500mm

I know this is disqualified because this man is not from DPP but I couldn't resist not posting his lens here. Taken at Central Park NYC.

I don't think so, Dan, but I think you need a porter to carry that lens. :Dum::D

But Tok endured the 3-hour hike to Mt. Pinatubo carrying that bazooka on his back.

But I just can't imagine his flash gun can reach the target. :RedEye:

At any rate, that howitzer looks mean!!!

Edit: Searchlight is a better option?
I hope that chap joins the DPP forum.:)

koya aly, on the contrary it can. i've seen that attachment before. that's a flash extender. it's just like a hood with a magnifying glass at the end to extend your light. a buddy of mine in davao has one like that :)

Geez... Carrying around a D40 with kit lens for a long period of time makes my arm feel awful sometimes... Maybe I should start working out on my arms now and perhaps I can carry one of those someday, for longer duration... Heheheh :Grin:

I totally agree with the pic caption, below. Those cam bodies look like end-caps to those gargantuan lenses. man, he has at least 5 cams all over him!!!

Anyway, if you folks care to refer to post #1, the thread was about photos taken by DPPers of of photograpers with humungous lenses or photos of DPPers using such lenses.

But, I guess, we're all having fun as the topic of this thread has taken a wider coverage, so keep on posting, folks!!!!:D:D

I wonder how he would feel after he takes of all the photography gear he carries. If there's such a thing as a photographer's caddie, he must be one.:)

Here's a repost from another thread. A self-portrait, if you will.

you'd be surprised cedrik!

with all the do's and don'ts of shooting golf? as in strict officials and players who are "in the zone", i'd say he's properly geared for the occasion :D

I thought this man was a BEGGAR! :D

If he's actually spent his money on all that gear, then he probably is by now :D

Joel, I grabbed this from the other thread.... I had muscle ache soon afterwards...
