1st Bigma shots

[Tobyh]

Well...

Finally received it today. Cloudy, rainy. Not the best start but couldn't resist a few shots. I was preparing for disappointment but seems maybe my time spent on my 300 with a TC has improved my technique a little with the larger lenses.

All taken through double glazing at ISO 800. Images are a little soft but understandable in my opinion.






Thanks for looking

Stunning photos Toby- your new toy has worked wonders!

Cracking shots Toby!

You must be over the moon - I got my Bigma about a month back and was really chuffed with the quality of some of my early shots. Haven't had much chance to use it since () - can't wait to get out there and do some serious photography!

these are a couple of shots i took weekend, i know they are not perfect but it was first time out with a telephoto, found it so exiting trying to capture the images, im sure i will improve with practise, open to opinions, (be gentle).

Hi Pete - the Bigma is the Sigma 50-500mm :

Thanks for the kind replies everyone.

Denn - If you have your photos uploaded the code you need to paste into the thread is there already. I find that if you click the little icon that says "more" under the forum code area you then get some other code options. I then cut and paste the mid sized picture option straight into the thread. Hope that helps ( i'm doing that memory - i'll check and edit if needed).

Well Toby for ISO 800 and through double glazing those are cracking shots. Well done. I look forward to seeing more from you.

By the way the correct way to insert an image into a forum post is to use just the line that says forum code. copy this line of code and paste into your thread where you want the photo to appear.

This gives a clickable thumb nail size image in your post rather than the full size image. with the warning "External/Large Image - Please only use thumbnails from the Wild About Britain archive or gallery."

Well done again and please don't think I'm criticizing your method of putting your images in a post just trying to be helpful
