I have been given a lens by Girl Guides to review, and I had some fun this afternoon trying it out on the huskies… cos I don’t exactly have wild animals in my backyard but sometimes the dogs come close. It’s a Sigma 50-500mm f4.5-6.3 HSM lens… and oh my it was very cool to play with a lens with that zoom length. My lenses only go to 200mm!
I’m not going to show you all the photos, but I will show you my favourites… mostly taken at 500mm
. They were all taken handheld and at about 5pm so the light wasn’t completely bright.
373mm f6.3 1/60 ISO250

LOVE that I could get a shot of them playing like this… this is how they play with each other every day, and sometimes I wonder why there isn’t blood

The review will be written this week, I just want to take a few more photos tomorrow
Love your dogs!!
You have inspired me to play with my new toy! And they are great material!
Wooohoo thanks, for their pictures !! Beautiful eyes. You have 4 great subjects to take pictures of. Oh I now I can understand what must be happening to your garden
Love that second shot..
The Lens looks to be brilliant and sharp at the same time. Amazing close ups. It’s good to see them at 500 for the best results I guess.
Wow – nice and clear !
Wow! That shot of them playing is stunning!
