Hmm I haven’t had that but I can get quiet a few blurry shots sometimes due to the non-image stabilzer like my old lens, The 75-300mm IS. What settings have you been using?

I stick roughly to the settings that used to produce the best on my 75-300mm. Usually F11 if the weather allows me to keep the shutter speed high enough. Wouldn’t generally go below F8. ISO200, centre-weighted metering mode. The settings work….but it can just seem to be a bit inconsistent. I’ll see how it performs in DUB next week….seeing as I’ve only taken it on 2 trips so far.

Good work!

How’re you finding the Bigma 50-500?

It’s really hard to demonstrate whn I haven’t got he original to work on, but this is roughly what I’d do. Some of the details need to be sharpened, as does the plane in general (it looks as though it’s been oversharpened here, because of the small file size). A bit of playing with saturation, contrast and white balance brings me to this:

Probably my favourite set of shots from you Lance, and that Swan is very impressive!

Sigma 70-200 2.8 HSM. Great lense for objects close by and at medium distance. But for long distance the photos tend to be really soft. Could not have been the weather cause it was excellent.

Hmm…how did the price compare with the Canon 70-200 F2.8? Or even the 70-200 F4? The 70-200 F4 is fantastically sharp, even with a 1.4x extender.

Great work Pete! What is your new lense?

b = -5

5a – 3(-5) = 25
5a = 10
a = 2

Of course! 😮

Oww…brain ache. Spent 2 hours in Maths today…Intergration and Differentiation. Ugh…Along with Quantum Physics in the middle of the day 🙁
