Last weekend I made it out for a bit. Wanted to find some swans was successful but the sky carp are out in force. Neither of these images were cropped both were shot with the Sigma 300mm f/4 APO Macro

Here's some shots from a recent fishing excursion. Autofocus on my DA*300 is all sorts of messed up, so I've primarily been manually focusing. Thinking it might be time to send it off for repairs :/

Thanks. Normally they scamper to nearest cover whenever they see you coming, but this guy was very compliant.

I got about 10 feet from him and got about a dozen good shots. Pure luck really. Right place at the right time.
