Have you been to Groombridge today ? ;) Love it there, shame its so far away ! :(

Very nice ! :) all of them !

[CT]

Wow what a differemce! That new lens is really paying off. Lovely shots. 8)

[Matt]

All good shots Matty, well done.

[Steve]

Yup I have to agree with all of the above, these are very much improved shots. How are you finding the new lens?

[Digital SPG]

As I said earlier Matt excellent shots especially the eagle. Still needs rotating though :wink: :P

[KenCo]

As all the above, the first thing i thought was new lense and what a difference. Must speak to the wife more.LOL.

Very cool indeed. What lens was it again?

Very cool indeed. What lens was it again?

Sigma something -300 zoom I think. Sharp as a tack anyway.

[Digital SPG]

Sigma 70~300mm APO macro super. Can be bought on-line for about £140. I have the same lens and highly recomend it.

So does Dave I hear, but he hasn't had much luck with it.

[Gary Bagshawe]

Great shots, I really like the last one, NICE!

[matty]

thanks for the comments guys, the lens is great, so much so that it irritates me to have to put the kit lens on as its just not as good. Might have to invest in a good short lens too. Focusing is a little slow sometimes, but that could easily be the camera also!

really chuffed with these piccies, im gonna stick a couple on a cd and give it to the raptor bloke, hes gonna be seeing a lot of me over the summer

[DaveG]

Nice shots.

Where were they taken and what lens did you use?

[matty]

I got your PM dave, will set up a gallery shortly

taken at Groombridge Place, with canon300d with Sigma 70 -300 supermacro APO

[DaveG]
