Summer pictures.

I got my Sigma 30/1.4 lens recently, here are some of the first shots I managed with it. I took all of these at the Finnish amateur astronomers' society's summer get together in Varkaus, eastern Finland.

Doffed out gas burner:



This one already made it out to the wildlife forum.
A Daubenton's bat hunting supper:


(1/2 sec exposure with 5 pops from a flash is how that came into existance )

Check out this paint job on a telescope



Abstract glittery wavy things, with a grad-ND and a mild diffuser:



It's definitely not a macro lens, but we try


Thanks for taking a look, feel free to say what you think

Hi Pyry,

The bat shot is rather cool, thanks for explaining how you got it.
I like the abstract look of the paint on the Telescope,
it's reaching red veins create a very interesting pattern.

All the best with your new lens Pyry .... Skippy

The bat shot is the kind of shot that flashes have multi-pop modes for in the first place. I'd love to see other attempts at something like this

The technique they used to make that paint job was intresting, a solid coat of red painted over with a black colour that contracs as it dries.

Thanks Skippy, I think the little lens is going to be a fun one to use
