| | | testing my new sigma 500mm
Went out at 7.00am this morning to test my sigma 500mm on a pair of Bitterns that have been showing locally. No luck! But managed to get a few shots off in the back garden! Light was a bit grim but the Goldcrest made up for it!     
oh, nearly forgot. All shots taken on D300,sigma 500mm F4.5 lens, iso 1000, F5-F6.3.
regards.

Nice captures Stu.
Is your lens a Sigma 50-500?

Some very nice detailed shots considering the poor light. Love the Goldcrest

Oh yes, how rude of me, I didn't even say how wonderful the shots where. They are nice and sharp- in fact I was Sigma 500mm and assumed you meant the Bigma in which case I would have asked you how you managed decent light at f/6.3   |

Thanks for the comments everyone. The Sigma 500mm 4.5 was the best compromise between reach and cost. I think the equivalent nikon version is about £2000 more!
Shooting at ISO 1000 helps a bit with the light but roll on spring!!!!!
