Took this one a little while ago and used it in my 'A' panel, it met with approval

Thanks Alby, of course, it was a Nikon D7100, Sigma 150 f2.8 macro, hand held so the settings look a bit odd but gave me the image I could process in Photoshop - ISO640, 1/200sec, F10 - I recall lying flat out on the grass, it had just rained, and the Hover was on a low growing bamboo leaf.

Very nice and really sharp. I like that.
Thanks for sharing.

I used to love my Sigma 150mm f2.8

Well taken Mark

It is a fab lens, I now shoot with a Nikon D810 and the sigma is pretty much a permanent fixture to it

Very nice.

cheers Chris, appreciated
