Doing a photo shoot in Cape Coral Florida and I would like additional ideas on where to shoot landscapes and wildlife in that area I would appreciate the 411.

Thanks as always.

I see you used a bean bag rest but was wondering if you used a remote shutter release or delayed shutter release, it may have helped at 500mm.


No but i did rest it on my arm.

Agree that its underexposed and also has some focusing problems. Nothing seems in focus and its my impression that there are some motion artifacts. The Sigma is a lens that needs TONS of good light since its most sharpest at f/8. With good light it can give very nice results. On an overcast day you should consider to start with an ISO 800 due to the lens limitations of been basically a f/8 one.

Check what I did in this case. I still have this lens and use it from time to time. I went with ISO 1250, f/8 and 1/800. I believe light was slightly better in my case and still I went with that ISO.

Don't be afraid of increasing the ISO. There are good software programs out there to deal with noise, its matter of knowing what you like and practice. Its a heavy lens so be sure you have the IS on and practice good holding techniques.

All: I can't for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong. I am having a terrible time getting sharper pictures.

Here is an example of a picture. it is really muddy looking. Yes weather was heavily overcast but this does not explain it does it? It's happening more often than not now a days. Very discouraging.
Nikon d7100 with a Sigma 150-500mm lens.

Focal length 500mm
Shutter - 1/750
Aperture 8.0
ISO - 400
On window beanbag
Lightroom cc used to process -- no processing done on this example.

I am using Nikon system. D7100 camera. Long story short i have a collection of Yongnu and a Sigma. I realized after purchasing the Phottix and 3 recievers that these off brands will not do anything more than manual firing and i can live with that or sell them and go with nikon flashes..... now for my question:

I rented a nikon SB910 and TTL seems to work. i can use flash compensation up and down remotely. Can either of you educate me on whether or not when i have the flash and trigger set to manual should i be able to adjust the power setting from 1/1 down to 1/128 remotely? If so what settings would accomplish that?

If i want to dial down remotely from 1/1 to 1/16 how do i do that remotely.

Starbucks gift certificate if you can help me make this work!! :)

Hi there. is anyone using the Phottix Odin triggers and receivers? I am having trouble figuring things out and would love some advice on adjust the flashes from the TCU.

I would appreciate someone well versed in this system giving me a shout.

Thanks.
