LINKY

Like the first shot, shows the wing feathers of beautifully. Second shot is just a bit too tight a crop, but a nice capture. The last shot is very nice, great light.

There is good potential in this shot, I would shoot from a lower angle so the background is less cluttered and you have caught your shadow in the foreground, worth a revisit.

SOLD pending payment.

Last few are better because the background is not too bright, some of the first are spoilt to me by the backgrounds.

Thank's for the comments gentlemen. Bought this lens because my kit was short of a decent lens at the 300mm range. Have been trying to look for a second hand Sigma 100 - 300mm F4, seem to be quite rare nowadays.

Just got the Pentax 55-300mm last week, here are some early captures from yesterday. The crocus shots are inside and tripod used and self timer, quite a sharp lens.

Local nature reserve.




Shot indoors.

All accessories, charger, battery, software instruction book. As you would buy straight from shop.

Yes, you can make out more detail on the bird in the second shot, very nice for such a bargain lens.

I love taking shot's of flowers and leaf's ect. One of the main problems is that of getting the subject to stay exactly where you want it. Searched fleabay and came accross this used by modelers ect for holding work steady. It came with a small magnifying glass attached, easily removed. It then provides you with to clamps to hold your subject, and all for a fiver.





The background is a cheap perspex photo frame with black paper in it and side lit with a cheapo clamp light and energy saving bulb, again a few pounds of fleabay.
