Cracking images you have there Adam Did they require much PP.

Hey Bender sorry for the late reply. I was using a Tamron 70-300 on my Nikon D300s. At Screech Sanctuary they have a small selection of their owls tethered in a semi circle all with their own box to sit in so I managed to snap him at ISO 200. I thought it was a a great idea because it means...

Cracking images the last one being my favourite. Can I ask how you come to catch an image like it? Is it a case of taking a series of exposures and waiting for the lightening to strike in one of the shots? Thanks Simon

Cracking shot Rob. I've loved watching the old girl take to the sky's, definitely going to miss her next year.

Can only echo the above. Fantstic shots :)

Sorry looking at my post I can see how you have come to that conclusion. I bumped this thread as I am interested in getting either a 10-20 or 8-16 so rather than start a new thread I searched and came across this one :)

Bump for an old thread as I see that Park have some Sigma 8-16mm's for sale. Thanks Simon.

Thank you for the links. I'll take a look at them.
