The date: Nov. 6th, Time: 7:15am, Daytrip to the gulf coast of TX.
Equipment Canon 1DX body and Sigma 60-600mm, 4.5-6.3 Zoom

This trip was planned to test my newest piece of equipment, the 60-600mm Sigma Sport lens.
I and a great photography buddy of mine headed out at 5am on the two hour drive to the coast.
By the time we got there the sun was up and things were starting wake up. We spent the entire day
photographing what we found and I'm sharing a few of the images that I caught with the new lens, just in case anyone might be thinking about purchasing one. Note: The last 2 images are heavily cropped.

Great mixed set. For me the Neotropic Cormorant is the prize.

I really appreciate all the great comments and yes, the lens passed the test with flying colors. I'm actually not as happy with myself as I am with the lens. I think if I had shot at F8 instead of 6.3 the entire subject would have been in focus. Next time I'm going to experiment with the f stop a bit more. I'm adding another edit of one of these images to see if my editing could also make a bit of a difference in clarity. Image 1 in the new edit and image two is the first edit. Can you tell any difference?
