D70s goes to Bundala National Park(Sri Lanka)

Gayan · Dec 28, 2005

I went on a trip to Bundala National park (Sri Lanka) last weekend and have taken some pictures with my D70s+Sigma 70-300mm 4.5/5.6 APO+SB600 combo. I very much enjoyed the beauty of Bundala National Park and wish to share some of it with you.

Hope you enjoy!!

I thought the entire collection was superb. Well composed, excellent exposure and great capture of colors.

The focus and framing on the macros seemed to be especially good. That's a tricky, time consuming thing to do so I admire the concentration you must have on those kinds of shots.

Well done on all counts.

Great shoots with a not often mentioned lens. Why Sigma instead of the Nikon 70-300mm AF ED?

Which lens exactly? BH has

Sigma's 70-300mm f4-5.6 APO DG Macro
Sigma Zoom Telephoto 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO Zoom Macro Super II
Sigma Zoom Telephoto 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro

What PP did you do to make those pic's stand out like that?

D70, 50mm 1.4, 18-70mm kit, PSE 4, NC 4, SB-600

Gayan,

Fantastic job. Really enjoyed your pictures. I am a bit partial to water so my favorite was the waterfalls.

Thanks for posting, really enjoyed the images.

Very nice, I love the light on that stone wall with the little window. All are really great shots, the Pelican with all the smaller birds is well done also.

How did I miss this post? These are wonderful! You sure know how to use this lens and get the max out of it. That's really impressive.

A little OT comment - next time you share so many pics in one post, let people know that in the subject line. Some people are on a dial up, and this kind of post would really mess up things for them. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your excellent work.
