Just about everything is well with these pictures - exposure, sharpness, colours - even the gull's pose. Well done, Hyram!
Btw, was this the Sigma APO lens?

Thank you.
The lens was the DA* 300, handheld on a floating pontoon.
My Sigma APO is a very old manual focus version and the need to set a figure for the SR, as you change focal length is a bit of a pain, so I do not use it very often

Oh, am I doing it wrong?My Sigma APO is a very old manual focus version and the need to set a figure for the SR, as you change focal length is a bit of a pain, so I do not use it very often
I presumed you just set the maximum focal length and then fired away all through the zoom.
I set my 70-210mm to 200mm and thats that.

Yes, Mike,
for maximum effect of the SR system, the actual focal length should be input. So I understand Hyram's view.

That actually explains a lot, I did wonder why it looked like I had a bad case of the shakes on certain shots with this lens. It's the only manual zoom I have, all the rest are primes.Yes, Mike,

I thought I was getting old early.

'Gerald' the gull only ever sat on the same post, which he / she defended very noisily.
