Hi everybody,
It's been a while since I last posted, but I purchased a sigma 150mm macro lens for my birthday
and have gone bananas with it recently , as you would.
Anyway, in France I took this , and am not entirely sure what it is
http://www.mgnastro.org/gifs/bfly1.jpg ( 1/160 sec@f2.8, ISO 200, no tripod )
but also took this too
http://www.mgnastro.org/gifs/hornet1.jpg ( 1/1600sec exp,@f9, ISO 800, no tripod )
and I am not convinced it is a hornet either - if anyone could identify either I'd be jolly grateful.
I must say I really really like this lens , even though it is slow focussing
regards
Martin
