Chilly Evening


Taking pics in Giant Springs park on a 10 degree evening was a bit hard on the fingers but worth the outting. I wanted to blur the falls and capture the fog on this shot so to save time I used the shutter priority option and set the value for 1/6 sec. The Canon 50D did the rest choosing an ISO of 400 and f/16, I had focal length of 35mm using Sigma 18-250 DC OS HSM lens. The low dusk lighting really ads to the brisk feel of the conditions.

night lights


I took this old bowling sign with Canon 50D and Sigma 18-250mm DC OS HSM lens. Shot with ISO-800 for 1/25 sec at f/5.6 and 95mm focal length on Slik Lightypod III monopod.

train art


This was a good test of this lens's speed. The train was moving past and I had a very small gap between trees to catch the shot. 178mm focal length, 1/1000 sec shutter speed ISO-100 at f/6.3. The lens had no issues locking on target and capturing great color and detail of this fine train graffiti.

Mallard


I took this shot while testing my new Sigma 18-250mm DC OS HSM lens. This drake Mallard was taken at 250mm focal length, 1/250 sec shutter speed at f/6.3 with ISO 100.
