I had an enjoyable morning practicing shooting in low-light with slow shutter speeds (1/100 - 1/200th or thereabouts) with my newish Nikon D850 & Sigma 150-600c lens. From a tripod, of course. I rarely use a tripod in the field, except when sitting in a makeshift blind or here in the yard. Band-tailed Pigeon 1/320sec, 600mm f/6.3

Nice. My Gold Finches seem to have disappeared the last few weeks.

Made a pigeon look good! The rain forecast up north here is 5 days straight and chance of dusting of snow at lower levels. Hopefully so cal getting rain will bode well for the flower show in the Tehachapis this spring!

Very colorful for/on a rainy day. I love the rain in the pigeon pic.

Lovely coloured backgrounds too. Nicely done.

I also have that combination. Sigma is sharp and has a very nice bokeh. The AF is a bit slow and in darkness it depends on your ability to hold the lens... But you used trupod, it's good!
