Nice shot mate. I have made a new year's res never to photograph anything white ever again, includes flowers always screw up the exposure.

nice pics of the swan, the first is very sharp. Were they taken handheld and what FL were they? Reason i ask is that i'm thinking of getting the 120-400 or the 150-500 soon!

Both taken at f/8, yes the second shot is a bit grainier as i had the camera on 800iso while trying to get a decent shot of a otter.
The first shot i had then adjusted my iso to 200 as there was plenty of light on the swan.
Both were taken at 500mm, the sigma 150-500 is a brilliant lens for the money

Cheers, they're both pretty sharp for handheld shots. As i will be using it handheld pretty exclusively i was erring more towards the 120-400 but will look closely at the longer one now!

Don't think you will regret it robcourt the optical stabiliser is a big help with handholding such a heavy lens

Still really hoping to get the Sigma 150-500mm lens, but think I will have to get it on finance if I ever do.
Can anyone recommend anywhere that does this lens with finance? I know Jessops do but they are stupidly expensive and never have what I want in stock..
Cheers

look on simply electronics, there about £100 cheaper than warehouse express, not sure if they do finance though??
