[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Made this one today with my new lens.
I bought the Sigma 70/300mm macro lens.
I still have to get used to the fact that when I zoom in furter then 200mm that the pictures are a bit moven. Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?
For instance: I wanted to photograph a small fly but I just couldn't get sharp, no matter what I tried. (I also tried different f stops, shutterspeed, iso etc.) I also use a tripod, but I just can't get them sharp. As soon as I want to press the button the camera moves a little, as a result that the picture is unsharp.

Anyway, the picture of this cow has been shot with tripod, lucky this one was sharp haha.

Oh man, the poor thing is going to have a very sore neck when she wakes up!!!
Great shot! You even caught some of those annoying flies in action. Actually, it seems to me like it could be a little sharper, and maybe a touch more contrast.
Still a nice shot Babeth.
Trudy

so tender moment
so cute shot
very nice , well done Babeth

This was a nice shot Babeth good colors and cute, I think using tripod is really a must if you are attempting really sharp shot. I myself is also having hard times sometimes I missed bringing tripod.
