Two extremes?

Shot these the other day with a Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM Lens on my Caon EOS 1D Mk IIn.  This lens and camera have been discontinued but both can be found on the used market at steep discounts.  Everybody knows the ruggedness of build in the 1D Mk IIn so that goes without saying.  A used Sigma needs to get careful scrutiny.  But for a song you can do these ..........

There are some gems out there for the taking!

Nice. I had several years of good use from my Mark IIn.

I don't really know why I keep this old dinosaur around but I just love it.  Something about it.   It's like me I guess and old dinosaur.

I see these sell for around $300 to $350 bucks and the lens for $350 to $400. What a buy.  Who says you need 20 mega pickles when 8 will do?

BTW, Happy Hoilday's to all.

NICE.

The landscape shot looks like a panaroma shot made of multiple shots.  It looks like 4 or 5 shots to me, with the camera rotated in portrait mode.
