The last picture is really good in more than one way - love it

 

Nice shots bball. I'm very tempted by that sigma myself. I have the 35art and love it. Been wanting a 50 for a long while but all previous ones seem to have some compromise that has put me off. From what I've read the new sigma is the one to get!

 

thanks guys

Mike, if you are in the market for a 50, don't hesitate on the sigma art, it's just such a wonderful lens, wide open sharpness, way it renders the oof areas, af is accurate and snappy, not like 24-70II/70-200II fast but fast enough, very quiet too, and the build itself is beautiful, oozes quality

it is heavy for a 50 though, it feels like as if i have my 24-70II mounted, might even be a tad heavier, not used to that kind of weight on a 50 (mentally more than anything i think knowing how a typical 50 weighs), but all sweet once you're used to it

 

Looks like it will be the next lens on my list!

That 1st pic is awesome !

 

Agreed. It's HARD to get a picture of lightning. You need EXTREME patience, being in the right place in the right time or your just lucky!

Nice one Chief Master.

 

Thank you. I must admit that this was a good storm with lightning every 10-20 seconds, but it was nice to have the perfect one hit dead center of the frame.

 

wasn't edited at all.

 

Please tell me you got off that train track before you became dead samurai. great perspective.

 

^^ I liked your second picture Samurai, looks great and colours are fantastic.

The lightening picture looked great and had a nice effect but the colours are wrong.

The last picture was satisfactory.
