The Last one is cool!
It looks like your falling into it.

It always amazes me that several of us can point our cameras in the same direction and get such differnt yet excellent results.



So long and thanks for all the flash

Thanks everyone. I have to admit that I am REALLY happy with my results from last night. Especially considering the very minimal amount of post processing I have done to get them looking how I want them.

Here is one more:

Im loving them to!


You know you've nailed the exposure when you don't have to do a lot of PP.
I just added +10 saturation and contrast to mine, resized and USM'd. :)



So long and thanks for all the flash

Weka, maybe you should ask sigma if you can be their NZ agent. Then you could have a "demonstrator model" of every lens you want. (And lots of new best friends!)

I just got an enlargement printed of the 6th image and a frame and mat board for it. It looks great, even if I do say so myself.

A tramping bag would be the least of my worries! You really do have a Sigma fetish don't you!

Trust me scott when you have to give that 10-20mm back you will have the sigma itch as well. Read the reviews on the Sigma 150mm macro.

I dont buy cheap and I dont buy over the top I bug sigma. A gold ring is nicer than a red ring.
