The Bigma pretending to be a Macro
Lens: Bigma Camera: K5 Photo Location: Saugus Ma 
Posted By: charliezap, 04-27-2013, 07:47 AM

Here are the rest of the shots from yesterday with the Bigma being used at 500mm from about 6-7 ft distance.The last 2 are a bonus for me taken at regular Bigma distance 50-100ft.They were curious. Today I hope to get some nice shots in Saugus Center.The Wounded Vets Org is having their bike run and are due to go through Saugus at around 2PM.It starts in Everett Ma at 1:30PM and ends up at Suffolk Downs East Boston.There is supoosed to be over 2000 bikes participating. It will be quite loud and spectacular as in past years.--charliezap

I would seem that the Bigma is very versatile even doing a pseudo macro.--charliezap

I'm impressed with the sharpeness in all of these. In #3, it looks like the yellow and black dude is bowing down and paying homage to the great charliezap.
