I like number 3 and 4 the most.
How are you liking the Sigma and D750?
It looks like the Sigma is very sharp and with great bokeh.
I thought about buying the D750, I believe that it is a great camera!

Thank you, Jakov!

No second thous about Sigma, is just good.
750-I was looking for good AF, because using very often combo 200-400 with TC-14, plus my age-good AF is the must. And I think, AF is better than in 700 or 600/610, plus 24 Mega, good high ISO(my hare pix...), decent 6.5 frames/sec.

Maybe somebody else will chime in....

And

Not bad for a former news photographer ;)

Not really used to you shooting flowers but these are really good, now I want a big flower garden even more :)

+1 on the Sigma.

I pondered the D750 for a long time, went with the D810. Mainly for the more "mature" body.

For me "810" was on expensive side, I am not making any money shooting...

JA-me? PJ? That was in my previous life!!

I remember you in Norway 5 years ago being more occupied with registering whatever we were doing instead of shooting scenic shots yourself, so it might be ages ago but being a PJ is still in your genes amigo :)

And of course you were also very good in making funny faces ;)

Ditto on the colours.
JA - clearly Andrew is just over 30. But what was he smoking!

Title: Re: From the garden
Post by: Andrew on July 11, 2015, 20:17:02

Best Vodka ever, or liquid courage as Pawel used to call it when we were surrounded by Hyenas while shooting startrails ;D

Speaking of Pawel, where is he?!?

#1 is great - the extra space around the subject is very pleasing.

Wonderful shots, I particularly like the light, colours and bokeh on the first 4.
