Minor correction, the 150-500 is the Bigmos not the Bigma (which is the 50-500)

I have a Bigmos? well you learn something new every day!

That's a good start to breaking in a new toy Cliff, now try using it in poor light and keeping it steady

Well I finally convinced my better half that investment in a Sigma 150-500 was a good Idea, so the lens was ordered last Saturday from SRS and as promised it arrived yesterday.

I did have a play around with HowardJ`s lens (thank you Howard) some while ago but for the life of me I cant remember that is was so heavy! but I suppose I`ll get used to it.

Anyway here are a few of my first attempts that are keepers, I should have had more but guess who for got to turn the OS on!! C&C welcome.

Blue tit 1

Blue tit 2

Dunnock

Coal tit

Another from yesterday, not the best of heron shots but I liked the captured effect of the frozen water as the bird flew past, Haven't a clue why it appears as a diagonal line, something to do with a sharp drop off of DOF perhaps?, the ice looked pretty uniform!. Any ideas?

As for the wife, I think you may have problems convincing her your lenses are too short, as no doubt when buying the 10-20 you were saying they were too long

She has a b****y good memory as well Alan

All lovely shots Cliff. I often like to see the ones at a shorter focal length so there is more composition in the shot.

Regards
David

Yes David i like to give the subject room to breath so to speak.

If you keep taking shots as good as these with the 70-300 how will you justify the 150 - 500 to your wife

Good point

Thanks for the comments guys.
