Testing a friends Sigma 150-600 a few weeks back we were taking some shots of small birds on the bank of a pond. It was quite cloudy and I had the lens set at 600mm when my friend said that a couple of ducks were coming overhead. All I had time was to lift the lens and i took one shot as the flew past.
Then realised the settings were for perched birds in lowish light so no chance I would have a decent shot. I was quite impressed that at only 1/500 and the speed the ducks were flying that i got the head quite sharp
Unfortunately I clipped the lower wing which I have had to reconstruct
Let me know your thoughts
