My first (and only) BIF

Yep, I do not use to shoot BIF (Bird in Flight!) as usually is difficult to have them in Naples.

This shots (with several others) was taken when I was trying to evaluate autofocus of the Nikon D300 + Sigma 70-300 Apo bundle^_^

It's a really cheap lens.. but it is similar to a 450 f/5.6 on a D300 so it's godo tele... it has no HSM, it has no IS (OS) but it is cheap and a good performer!

I'm sure there are far better 300 out there... but You'll find difficult to beat the quality/price ration of this lens!

I't a f/5.6 at 300 (and it's a little soft too) so you need much light as you've to shoot with a little aperture a long focal...

Let the photo speak for itself^_^

The Exif reads:
Nothing!!!
I've deleted it before conversion from RAW or maybe with some little retouch in GIMP!




have a good light all year long!
