After a little practice, this was a result from yesterday with the lens on a Canon 5Diii.

I have my Coporate tickets for Sunday and my new Sigma 150-600 lens ready for the day.

I have just purchased this lens and I love it. Not only for the reach but coupled with my 5diii, I am getting a lot more sharp focussed exposures than I would give credit for, especially when it is a heavy lens. Yes there is a vingette at the 450-600 end of the range, but a Lightroom lens...

Been updating mine slowly but please have a look - shadow_shots

I've shot in London before andolygot challenged once shooting outside the Town Hall towards The Shard. Amazing what you can do to ignore the challenge as I was listening to music at the time, so did not give them the time of day. When they insisted, I used the line "you've disturbed me....now...

Pssst.. I have some iphone shots of some of the areas I shot in that might give you a better idea of what to expect......will post later tonight if you are interested.

I went last Aug Bank Holiday and spent the entire day there. The track is good and you can walk all the way round. I could also get into the pits and take shots (if you ask nicely) of the cars in bits too, which added a different dynamic. The prices are reasonable too as well as car parking...

Sorted out the battery issues and it would appear to be CHIP related. Placing the non OEM batteries in a Canon charger results in the "poor comms" message but the ability to use the battery power in the 5d3. Overall, took the dive (after winning some money from my club competitions) and ended...

Can anyone help? My 6 batteries from the 5d2 should work with the 5d3 but I have found 3 that do not. Insert them into the 5d3 with full charge and the camera does not start up, unlike the other 3 batteries that do. 2 of the 3 that work are official, one is a substitute. The ones that don't work...

Is this a grey import company?

Thanks Buck and all good points. I can attest that I only shoot with L lenses so I am hoping that will not be the main issue here. I am not sure I can justify any expenditure to be fair and I think the Black Friday stuff has made me think. I might wait a little and see what happens. You are...

Arghhh I have a dilemma. I have been looking at the 5DIII and the DSR and DS but not sure about the purchase. I am on my first 5Dii (3 years old) and loving it to pieces, but just wondering if an upgrade is worth it. I can only feel that my 5Dii is lacking the focal points (only the 9) and I...

My last purchase was a new lens, this time a macro lens (Canon 100mm MACRO f2.8 L). Whilst I initially used it for some macro work which was a new genre for me and challenging, it did make me think differently and improved my work. Saying that, I then had a week in London on a course and ended...
