Thank you!
Suppose to be "low maintenance" garden, but it isn't...

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....

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 :)


Cheers,

And

+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 ;)

D3s with 24/1.4G, what a lens

Jan Anne your shot of Andrew is awesome! Don't you miss your Nikons?
I remember kidnapping Andrew on the road to Bergen. Luckily El Presidente had sufficient space :)

Ditto on the colours.
