sigma 150-500 apo os….k-3ii

Yup, the stitch is visible here, not just in the feet disappearing from that poor first bird. Nonetheless, I'm still not doing what you do with the action pano's

The images you post are always, if you'll pardon the phrase, picture perfect. Simultaneously inspiring and intimidating, as I would like to but never could do as well.

Eastern reef egret, white phase. This was taken at 100mm so it doesn't belong on this thread, but I wanted to post it for comparison with the dark phase I posted above.

The snow goose, Ross's goose and great blue heron all have a dark & light phase. Locally grey squirrels have a dark - actually black phase. I'm sure there are others. Just as true albinos (= no pigment, with pink eyes) can appear randomly in almost any animal. so can less extreme changes in pigmentation. It doesn't take drastic genetic alteration, just a few or even only one critical mutation.

You can now peruse my comparison of the sigma 150-500m with the D FA 150-450mm.
