Got Some Visitors!
Despite the strong wind and temperature into the low 40s, the sun was shining this morning and I took my camera and my newly purchased Sigma lens 150-500mm zoom f5-6.3 APO DG OS, shot a total of 37 frames to see how it performs. I used my Canon 60D on Manual setting, spot metering. I had the sun on the background which made it a bit harder to get good readings. I have some samples for you to see today. I hope you like them. Another thing, I shot these through the window glass from my home office window.
