Well...So I rent this 50-500mm Sigma lens for a week during Thanksgiving break. Do I always start these off with Well...So! Hummmmmmmm! Thanksgiving day is a bust. I want to spend the day with family and friends. So I did! Even met a FB friend for the first time. That was Thursday. Friday, Diane says, weren't you told you would be needing brakes on the Prius soon. That was 15000 miles ago. Perhaps, with all the traveling I have been doing and want to do, I should have the brakes done. Take the car in to have it done and was told there was a recall on the water pump. Day two....another bust! That's Friday. I took Monday to have more time with the lens, so now I only have 3 days left to get some pictures. Wake up this morning and it is so overcast I didn't know if I'd get any decent pictures. Never did clear while I was out. It ook forever to get use to the lens and get the camera adjusted properly. OK, I didn't go through my normal checklist before shooting. Have you ever done that. Nothings turning out...WHY! Traveled 152 miles, did I get any decent pictures you ask? A few! Want to see them? OK! You probably should have not read this and gone right to the images. That's what I would have done.
"American Pipit"
Sandhill Cranes"
"Snowy Egret I"
"Snowy Egret II"
"Great Egret"
So little for as much traveling I did. You can imagine how I felt when I got home.
"Great Blue Heron"
Like This! Badly focused. Hopefully, I will do better and see more birds to photograph the rest of the weekend. I hope, I hope, I hope!
