Yeah, a clean window and straight-on shots help. That patience and light make a difference it appears. That shot of the White-winged Dove was cool as they are a bird of the Southwest US and I live in Nebraska. He was definitely lost! Thanks for sharing.

Yep, I'd say passable for sure. It's tough to photo birds for a number of reasons. I put-up bird feeders, waterers and iron decorations outside my siding glass door to attract them in close. I pre-focus sometimes on where I believe the bird will be and on a tripod wait to use my remote shudder release. I face south so have the sun in the winter with good light and some protection from wind blowing birds around too much. I attached a couple of my better results. Keep shooting those birds!

It's a Sigma I use on my 700 Sony Alpha camera. Since my camera is not full-frame I thought it probably was 450mm, but I could be wrong. Selling lens for $875.

Hi: Bought the lense this spring but ran onto a 70-200mm F2.8 about the same time. Found I don't need the extra range for my photography so the Sigma sits in its case. Complete, with a Hoya UV filter It is in excellent shape with no dings and the lens itself operates flawlessly. Please contact me if interested. Thanks, husker425

Thanks for your help my friends. Appears to be straight forward, which messed me up. :)

ACA was passed by a lawfully elected Congress and the law upheld by the highest court in the land. Sure it needs some fixing but we're on our way. So please let's go forward and not spend the next 4-years trying to tear it down.

Don't know why u can't download your pics off the camera to PS. You should have a cord with a USB end that plugs into your computer port and the other end into your camera. Turn on camera and watch your computer screen and go from there, my friend. Don't own a NEX but am certain you can download into PS and other programs as well.

Excellent choice since 10-grand would just be a down payment on a bass boat. :) Good luck!!

The 70-200mm 2.8 would be sweet in my bag for certain. Working on it as I need that high of the brown truck pulling up into my driveway too!! :) Oh, mine would be Sony or Sigma however.

Good luck with your hunt for a new outfit. Remember, once you get started down the road with a particular brand with lenses and other it makes it damned expensive to do a 180 to something else. I'll put my plug in here. I shoot Sony and believe they're in it for the long-run. They have excellent equipment. They are kind of proud of their lenses however. Minolta stuff is good too!! Again, good luck and let us know which way you decide to swing, okay? :)

Yeah, have looked briefly at rain camera bags. It's something missing from my bag for certain. Let's hope no rain. 900 wet runners would be great to shoot though? :) Thanks for the advise. Going to pickup a new mono-pod for the race also. Sigma 100-300 f4 is a heavy lens. Plus, found out that it's a 10K race not a 5K. More time on scene.
