300mm f/2.8 L IS II captures amazing light
2

No photo-shop or heavy editing. Each year on March 19 I hope for sun in Copenhagen where I like to capture the amazing backlight as the sun it sets into Saint George's Lake (Sankt Jørgen's Sø). This time I took my 300mm f/2.8 L IS II with me and it did not disappoint. Enjoy!

I was happy to get the "Star Effect" all around the cyclist - so 1980's but still great!

my 300 f/2.8 L IS USM II never disappoints me too - just an outstanding lens by all measures!

Good catch of the moment!!

I contend it's the light, not the lens. This was taken with a Sigma 300mm which I sold in favour of a Canon 300. The Canon is minimally sharper but I think that the bokeh of the Sigma was more pleasing.
