Testing New lens
Lens: Sigma 17-35 2.8-4 DG Camera: K7 Photo Location: Oakey ISO: 100 Aperture: F16 
Posted By: lamented bovine, 02-16-2012, 04:45 AM

Scored new lens. Gave it a work out today. Shot were bracketed 5 exposures at 1/3. Did get some fare. This is the non HSM version.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers
Shane

Thanks again JFN. Here is a raw to web file of shot 4 no PP. Other than save for web.Keep in mind this series was 5 shot bracketed then combined via hdr first, then opened in photoshop two images first correct exp and hdr as layers. Enjoy.
