All your featured photos are excellent. Might take a look at that lens myself.

About a year ago I bought a Sigma 150-600 C lens. I think you are legally obligated to photograph birds after you buy this lens, or the Tamron or Nikon ones similar to this. I have fulfilled my obligation to do this.

More recently I went to my favorite local park, Vines Park, in Georgia. The following 2 photos were shot at 600mm, handheld. In the first photo, the tree blossoms were....up in the tree. I would have either needed a ladder or the ability to levitate to get closer.

In the second photo, the plant was off the path, near the water...inaccessible to walking forward to photo it.

Great shots. I have then “big sig 150-600 sport” . It is pretty heavy for a walk about lens. I use the 18-300.

Happy to oblige. Here are some fairly recent photos taken in Florida with this combination.


These additional photos are very good Dean. That Anhinga looks like he tied his neck in a knot. That Pelican close-up is excellent.

Great results, just what I would expect with that lens. I have to 150-500mm version and it served me very well on Safari in South Africa. The only drawback is that everyone will be staring at you, you may get sole law enforcement queries and you probably will be bothered by a lot of "dumb" questions.
