Hand held at 1/125th sec @ 500mm

Paul Iddon

I have this Sigma 150-500mm lens now and need to get out and try it but for now I am limited to blackbirds, sparrows, etc in our tiny garden.

Nowt fancy, just a young BB sat facing away from me on top of next doors leylandii, but it was hand held, and at 500mm, small crop.

I was just testing the lens at what setting the camera was on. It happened to be ISO 200.
