First Pic

[gfilmsuk]

Windy, rain and not much else but fed-up watching the feeder I decided to stroll up the woods and take the camera for a bit of fresh air.
I found this 'ole boy' lurking in thick undergrowth keeping a wary eye on me.
At 20 yards ISO 800 with a setting of 25th at 5.6 on the Sigma 175-500 I rattled a few off. Only one half decent one but a bit noisy.

Certainly picked up the detail in the eye very well, shame about the foliage in the foreground which is a bit distracting. However, it gives a good indication of the capabilities of the lens and look forward to seeing some more images in the future.

Nice shot, noise isnt't to bad considering it's iso800 and poor light by the sounds of it.
Keep up the good work mate
