AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED
New compact, lightweight G-type fast telephoto zoom lens featuring SWM and Vibration Reduction

This new lens is truly compact, lightweight AF-S Zoom-Nikkor lens to offer the VR (Vibration Reduction) function.The lens is targeted at professional and advanced amateur photographers to whom the advantages of high optical performance and high speed are top priorities.

An secondary "Active" VR mode is available, which compensates for the intense vibrations experienced when shooting from a mechanical platform such as a moving motor vehicle, ship or helicopter.

This lens delivers superior optical performance thanks to the incorporation of five ED glass elements and high-grade Nikon Super Integrated Coating. With a fast constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 at all focal lengths it is an eesential lens for professional-level photographic needs.

Nikon D700 - FX Format DSLR

Source from From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nikon D700 is a professional grade full-frame digital single-lens reflex camera introduced by the Nikon Corporation in July 2008 and manufactured in Japan. It uses the same 12.1 megapixel "FX" CMOS image sensor as the Nikon D3, and is Nikon's second full-frame digital SLR camera. Initial MSRP was $2999.95, but actual prices are much lower.
The D700's full-frame sensor allows the use of non-DX F-mount lenses to their fullest advantage, with no crop factor. When a DX lens is mounted on the D700, only a DX-sized portion of the camera's sensor is used. Nikon D700 bears a physical similarity to the Nikon D300, which uses the same MB-D10 battery pack and EN-EL3e battery. As of 2009, the Nikon D3X, the D3/D3s and D700 are the only Nikon DSLR models that are manufactured in Japan.
The D700 has a built in autofocus motor for all Nikon autofocus-lenses, includes CPU and metering for older Nikon F-mount AI/AI-S lenses, [2] and supports PC-E lenses.[3]

Batu Caves Full View



Batu Caves, Malaysia

Source From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Batu Caves is a limestone hill, which has a series of caves and cave temples, located in Gombak district, 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) north of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It takes its name from the Sungai Batu or Batu River, which flows past the hill. Batu Caves is also the name of the nearby village.
The cave is one of the most popular Hindu shrines outside India, dedicated to Lord Murugan. It is the focal point of Hindu festival of Thaipusam in Malaysia.
Rising almost 100 m above the ground, Batu Caves temple complex consists of three main caves and a few smaller ones. The biggest, referred to as Cathedral Cave or Temple Cave, has a 100 m-high ceiling, and features ornate Hindu shrines. To reach it, visitors have to climb a steep flight of 272 steps.


Lord Muruga Statue

Standing at 42.7 meter (140.09 ft) high, the world's tallest statue of Murugan, a Hindu deity, is located outside Batu Caves, near the city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The statue is made of 1550 cubic metres of concrete, 250 tonnes of steel bars and 300 litres of gold paint brought in from neighboring Thailand.
