I've said it 1,000 times I'm still learning. thanks</p>$4711Fri, 21 Aug 2009 23:50:08 -0000http://typicalshutterbug.com/wordpress/2009/08/09/tsbv-saturday-at-point-vicente-lighthouse/#comment-15219780<p>Love the photos, but something got my attention with those 2 wide angle shots - the horizon isn't straight. Not sure how else to put it so I'll just say what I have to and get it over with :)</p><p>Also on that second photo, I would crop out that bench-like object on the lower right, it's quite distracting.</p><p>This is all intended as constructive criticism and I apologise if it seems very straightforward.</p>xxloverxxFri, 21 Aug 2009 22:47:49 -0000http://typicalshutterbug.com/wordpress/2009/08/09/tsbv-saturday-at-point-vicente-lighthouse/#comment-14874522<p>Total typos, it's fixed now. I've owned other Sigma lenses and to this point I've not had a bad experience. I thought this new one may have been soft around the edges , but it was likely my inexperience at testing. I then followed the advice of this video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS0hlQ9lSps" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HS0hlQ9lSps">http://www.youtube.com/watc...</a> and found it was fine.</p><p>I like the lens so far and yes it's hard to justify the now more than $1500 difference in price between the Nikor and the Sigma, unless it's your profession. I will probably get the Nikor 24mm-70mm f/2.8 in the future but I justify that because it's the size lens that's on my camera 80% of the time. Thanks for the commnets. </p>$4711Sat, 15 Aug 2009 09:06:49 -0000http://typicalshutterbug.com/wordpress/2009/08/09/tsbv-saturday-at-point-vicente-lighthouse/#comment-14806845<p>Victor,<br>Great shots. <br>Question one: Is "Sigma 77-200mm f/2.8" a typo? Is it the 70-200mm? <br>Question two: I assume you recommend the Sigma. I'm seriously considering the Sigma 70-200mm for Nikon mount as to do kids sports (day soccer and football under lights) because its $800 instead of $2000+ for the Nikon.</p>petrasThu, 13 Aug 2009 17:44:01 -0000http://typicalshutterbug.com/wordpress/2009/08/09/tsbv-saturday-at-point-vicente-lighthouse/#comment-14533435<p>Really nice work Victor. I like how you told a story. Showing the distant shots then showing the detail shots. The shots are really crisp and vivid. </p>Jim FelderSun, 09 Aug 2009 22:47:44 -0000
