Today the weather forecast was for sunny spells with any cloud burning off by mid morning. When we left home it was 9 degrees and rising with a watery sun hidden in a cloudy sky. By the time we reached the RSPB reserve at Ken Dee Marshes, it was very dull and misty with a max temperature of only 6 degrees. So much for the weather forecast. Instead of getting some nice light for a change, I ended up with the same old story here, ISO 1600 and loads of noise. Still it was another chance to practice with the Sigma 150-500.
There was a lot more activity on the water today, unfortunately it is a bit further away so a higher crop neccessary. This Heron decided to turn up before he was chased away by some gulls.
This was probably my favourite shot of the day. A pair of Canada geese flying low over the marshes. The high iso and large crop along with the dull conditions suited a mono conversion to my mind.

How do you feel about this lens lenght? I’m trying to decide it to go with my first DSLR, I’m not much worried about the weight but it looks so long that I’m afraid of having its hood hitting my leg if I walk with it on my shoulder =P
It is long and heavy and you would probably want to support it when walking with it because of the weight.
