A couple of weeks ago when I went to photo the Red Arrows taking off.
I parked the car and as I walked along the road to get to the airfield (camera and lenses all packed neatly in the bag) a car went screaming past straight down the middle of the traffic with some kiddie at the wheel smiling broadly followed by 12 marked and unmarked police cars. I just stood there open mouthed thinking .. oh well, not a chance of getting the camera out and mounting a lens in time.

Really crappy photo of the car buried in a roundabout in the local paper the next day.

Not in the UK I don't think.

Ah, thought I had done something wrong for a minute.

I think if I was living in Spain again I would sell all my other lenses and just keep the Bigma and a wide angle .. it's that good in decent light.

All are handheld, I never use a tripod ... why?

And I thought it was just me who did this

Maybe I will be in the minority but I prefer the colour version.

Not a bad day today, quite pleasant out so decided to carry the Bigma round. Some pics taken with it.

The only time I use HDR these days is when I have a situation where the sky will overexpose or ground underexpose when I am trying to get a landscape shot (bright sunny day in the forest). By taking 3 bracket shots of -1, 0, +2 I can normally combine them to get a decently exposed picture.

I think a lot of the trouble is that like all third party lens manufacturers Sigma reverse engineered the K-mount and im sure it cant be done 100% right.

So what happened Scott?
