Good photos and makes me hungry. I have to go and get something to eat now.

Really nice. It's hard to find a rustic barn with a nice colorful background.

This is a good photo. If you have pretty clouds then I would lower the horizon to take advantage of them. If you have pretty rock formations, such as you have, then I would raise the horizon to concentrate on the rock formations and part of the beach for contrast. Almost never have the horizon in the middle of your photo. Always
accentuate your contrast (black to white) to make your photo look as dramatic as possible.

Well said. Photography is fun and escapism into another world of beauty that can be found everywhere if you are willing to look for it. It is a snapshot of a moment of time that will be precious to you for the rest of your life.

A good program called 'Genuine Fractals 6.0' will increase
the subject size to about 2 to 5 times at the same resolution.

I'm honored to meet someone from New Zealand. I'm always wanted to travel there. It seems to be a beautiful Country with friendly people.

I could have put more detail into the comparison between the Sigma 150-500mm and the 50-500mm zoom lenses but I just wanted to give that person a few facts so that he or she can go on to research each lens to see which would be the best fit for their photographic situations.

I do not edit other person's photographs. I just put these 2 photos together about 15 minutes ago to compare the Sigma 50-500mm to the 150-500mm lenses because at least one person had a question about them.

I will try, with two photos, to physically compare these 2 great telephoto lenses with some added information.
The photos of these two lenses may look to be out of sync because of the angle of the shot.

Bigshot,
Thank you. The Sigma 50-500mm zoom can do it all. From
portrait or group photos to landscape and wildlife to insect photos. Many times when I'm out in the fields or forests while taking photos of distant subjects, I sometimes see a butterfly, bee, grasshopper, etc. nearby so I take a photo of it while waiting for the elusive deer, eagle to come into view. As I have said before, I can get within 15" of the insect or flower with my camera using the macro setting which is marked on the outside of the extended lens body so that you know about how far to be from the subject and what ratio magnification (1:3.1, 1.3.4 etc) you will want to use. The 1:3.1 ratio is the highest magnification setting for this lens. A true ratio of 1:1 is a natural setting for the average Macro lens, so the 1:3.1 ratio setting for the Sigma 50-500 lens is not as good but is better than any other large telephoto lens on the market that I'm aware of.
On the negative side, this lens weighs about 4.3 lbs. and is 8.6" long (50mm setting) without the hood attachment (4" length) to about 11" long (500mm setting) without the hood.
Your camera and this lens can weigh between 5-6 lbs. depending on your camera system, so it's not light to carry.
However, it has an excellent optical stabilization system which helps to get those sharp focused photos. I can walk miles carrying this camera and lens system and not be tired and I'm 69 years old. All, and I mean all, my photos are hand-held using this camera and lens combination. I do not use a tripod because I like to move around quickly to get a good photo.

Nafplyr,
Thank you for your compliments.
I have a great Tamron 180mm Macro which takes great close-up photos at a somewhat greater distance from the insect so as to not scare away the bug.

Raymondh,
Thank you for the compliment. I'm not a professional photographer but I do enjoy photographing just about everything that is interesting to me. Fun.
