This fellow has been hanging around our lake for several weeks. My new Sigma 150-600mm lens came in last night. I took this, this morning.

Hello All,

I joined uglyhedgehog a week or two ago. Since then I've been lurking. I shoot a Nikon D7100 camera. I found this group while researching Sigma 150-600mm lenses, which I have since bought and received last night. My previous longest lens was a Nikkor 75-300mm. I am so happy with how much more reach the Sigma has.

The picture of the heron was taken last night off my deck, probably 30 minutes after unpacking the lens, under less than optimal conditions. Overcast, getting close to sunset and a hundred yards or more away, but with all that and in addition not really knowing anything about this lens, I am very happy with the results.

I'm very glad to have landed here. It seems to be such a nice group.

Very pretty.
