I dragged out the old Sigma 150-500, as I rarely use it, thinking I should sell it, so to sell it I need some sample photos.
The first attempt came up with this Scaly Breasted Lorikeet feeding on the flowers of a Golden Cane Palm.
These were shot at between 400mm – 500mm, and cropped slightly for better composition.
Okay doing more sample shots over the next few weeks, lets see what this lens is capable of.

Most people like to see fresh flowers, and they can be very colourful and bright.
These started out like that, but then began to fade, and I saw a new beauty in them.
I love the browning of the edges of the petals,the pastels colours and the new shapes as the petalsstart to droop.
Taken with 7D and Canon 60mm and 100mm macro ( non IS, not the L series 100mm lens I usualy use) lenses

Another one from my recent visit to Roma Street Parklands.
This time a Hover Fly, before I knew what they were, thought they were some form of native bee.

I was lucky enough to spend some more time in the Roma Street Parklands last week.
I love shooting Macro, and was very happy with this fly photo, I managed to capture.

My name is David Arnold, I have always been interested in Photography, but only have been serious since I bought a digital SLR in June 2009.
