Default Sydney Spotting Photos 24/2/2011

Hey everyone,
After picking up my new camera lens this morning (Sigma 50-500mm F4.5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM), I decided to test it out. Below are some photos that I took today. Its the first time that I have used a lens of this size & I immediately fell in love with it (Bernie P can refer to this ).






Iron Maiden 757, G-STRX






VH-VPH operating V Australia's inaugural VA29 Sydney - Abu Dhabi flight.
















Please feel free to leave any comments/criticism. Any criticism, is good criticism!!!

I like how the photos look like they are in the same spot so it gives a good comparison of the different aircraft types, colours, size etc. Nice job Jayden

Nice photos. What body do you use Jayden? If cropped would the lens work on a full frame? Thanks.

The Sigma lenses the whole range will work on any camera, you just need to get the appropriate mount. ie the 50-500 will go on the 30D,7D, 5D,1D etc

Thanks for all the comments.

Tony,
I'm currently using a Nikon D90 which seems to be doing just the right job!

excellent shots Jayden, you must have been at the mound same time as me and the other crowd? (I have a similar shot of the JAL 777)

I too bought a new DSLR, Lumix G10 big improvement on my previous Nikon L100 but no way as good as yours.
