Day 220

Thursday, August 5, 2010

While up at Nine Pipes Wildlife Refuge I got to play a little with my Sigma 600 Mirror Lens on a mono pod.  These were post processed a little. (1/1000, f8, 600mm, ISO 400) (1/1000, f8, 600mm, ISO 400) It may have some utility as a macro lens, too…hmmm… (1/1000, f8, 600mm, ISO 400) ~Curtis […]
