Occasionally i like to head out with a small, inconspicious camera and take a couple of happy snaps. Nothing too fancy mind you! :p

Heres a selection of work:

do u edit them at all?

Yes, almost always.

People have this stigma that photoshop editing isnt 'pure', but most of what you do in 'shop can (and has for 150+ years) be done within the darkroom as well, its just not as accessible.

Ansel Adams, probably one of the best landscape photographers ever, was a master of darkroom editing, and considered the editing of the print to be half the work.

sigma 50-500 on a 20D. Nah, cbf with them, they are a little picky sometimes over the shots and i just cant be bothered jumping though all the hoops they have.

How would u rate the sigma 50-500mm?

doigal
20th March 2009, 12:18 PM
How would u rate the sigma 50-500mm?

For the price? exceptional. It is a bit soft at the extreme end, but for 500mm, your options are fairly thin anyway, and without going for a huge heavy expensive prime

Its probably the best airshow lens around that dosnt cost close to 5 figures, and even if you had the cash for a 500mm prime, you'll need a shorter one on another body for some of the displays.

I'm toying with replacing it with the canon 100-400, but even this would need a teleconverter to get the range.

aza28
20th March 2009, 03:28 PM
Thanks for the review.
The reviews I've read online seem to all give this lens the thumbs up.
I'm also contemplating getting either the sigma or nikons 80-400mm. They're in the same price bracket so we'll see. Will come in handy at next yrs Aussie open. My 18-200mm just doesn't get close enough. The crappy thing is ur restricted to 200mm focal length. Will have to sneak it in!!

From his flickr

Melbourne Central Station, Horizon S3Pro, Delta 3200

There's considerable debate as to if your actually allowed to take photos down here, which is why the compact s3pro comes out instead of the full blown Fotoman kit. Pity.

Theres a big legal debate over it. Certainly if seen you'll be told to stop, but its believed that this grossly exceeds their powers on public land.
