Default new lens, first shots

Working to master a new lens and subjects, and yes I improved as the day went. Can't wait for the next time to try to improve more, that is if my back will let me continue to carry this lens.

Since the focal length on #2 is 500mm, I'm guessing a Bigma (Sigma 50-500). Love the RTH in #1, and how you can see the nictitating membrane over the eye. All three are great shots!

Love the little bow waves in front of the lizard (Iguana?)

I really enjoy the 2nd and third photos. All three are amazing and I hope you have been lifting with your legs for a lens that big :P
