At the beach this afternoon, taking some videos of SUP action for Craig, and I spot these two posing for self-portraits. Full marks to the Panasonic 100-300mm which has a reputation for being a little soft at the long end, but it nailed this moment very nicely.

Panasonic GX1 with Panasonic 100-300mm lens at 300mm (600mm effective).

2012-08-13| Spike saysToo technical to comment.
2012-08-14| Spike saysOK, if you must know, tripod (cos I was shooting video).
2012-08-14| Grant saysWell it’s a very nice shot, colour, composition, vanity of the Thai male, it’s got everything!
2012-08-14| Spanky saysThere is a male in the picture?
If you were shooting video you should have used a GH2. Everyone knows the GX1 is crap for video. Least thats what I read on the internet and everything on the internet is true.
2012-08-14| Spike saysAh, but not crap if you have installed the video hack. http://www.43rumors.com/hack-your-gx1-and-g3-now/
Not that I have, but I could.
2012-08-14| Spanky saysI actually saw that. Was looking for a firmware hack for the Canon 400D and stumbled across the site. If I shot video I would dump it on to one of my G3’s for fun.
