Trying out the Sigma 105mm F/2,8 DG DN Macro Art

[krisljungberg]

Going out without the tele is always scary! What if I see a cool bird? BUT, face your fears! Focus on the task at hand! Yesterday I took a little walk to try out the Sigma 105mm F/2,8 DG DN Macro Art I bought for the Sony A7 III. Haven't really tried it that much yet because I'm so focused on the bird photography. I do love photographing flowers and plants though, and butterflies and bees if they let me. Sadly, none of the latter yesterday, but some other colorful stuff!

Nice pics! The colors and bokeh are quite pleasing.
I also like to take photos of flowers (my mum is an avid gardener) and I find that some flowers which have protruding features, like your first two, could probably benefit from stopping down a bit.

Yeah you're absolutely right! I'm just so sloppy and lazy with my settings sometimes. Really need to experiment more!

They've come up nicely. I do mainly landscapes and nature stuff, I recently got the 85mm DG DN Art so that's been a bit of fun lately to be honest.
