Matisse at the Beach - a photo on Flickriver

Matisse at the Beach

            Taken at Bangor's seafront.

Last week it was birthday and my parents gave me some money to myself a nice gift. So guess what I bought? Yep. It's camera related.

I got a new lens! It's a Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 and I took it for a test-run on Sunday while I was walking about Bangor Marina.
First impressions, wow it's huge.. and heavy.. but also really sharp. I'll need practice getting well-focused action shots of Matisse, but so far I enjoy using it!

Next on my list of lenses i'd love to own.. a fisheye! But I'll wait until the funds build a bit before making another splurge! :D
