Default Night shot with the new lense...

Hi Folks,

The First shot with my new Sigma 150 500mm lense. Took some getting used to thats for sure and I dont advise doing that at night! I was pleased with what I took altough really have to practise more and in daylight.. id welcome any criticism and advice.

Welcome to DPS
I love the scenery in the first shot, so colourful and the castle looking building on the hill looks like a great place. Great night time shot, keep them coming.

Thumbs up

Thanks to all of you for your kind comments and welcome. Im still fighting to get to grips with my photoshop as well! as I really dont have much time. The castle in the backround is Edinburgh castle by the way, but I wont bore you with that, whats important here and I hope everyone knows it is the wealth of expertise that you all have. I would be happy to learn from individuals such as yourself and hope to get to know as many of the members as i can. Thanks you again for your welcome! jimmy
