Damn, I bought one of those specifically for a holiday in Australia, in '13. And, no bones about it, mine was c.r.a.p.
Every picture I shot was hazy and soft focus once I threw it up on the big monitor back home. I was SO disappointed.
I've flicked it and replaced it with a Canon L 70-300 which is very nice. For extra length I can stick it on the 450, for more
ASA I stick it on the 6D.

Your Sigma is certainly superb - you got a good one! I bought mine on the strength of similar samples but of course
it was way too late to do anything about it by the time I got back from my holiday. <sigh>

Hey Trev,

These photographs are absolutely amazing. You are indeed a perfectionist in whatever you work on. Sorry haven't commented earlier - I have never looked at the photography Forum before. I will be looking from now on. I see the Indian got a go - I suppose it does have some feathers

Absolutely breathtaking Trev

Congratulations

Charlie (Keith)

Just a couple more shots of the southern side of the point.
Because it's such a wonderful place.





I'm sure I'll be back there real soon!.

Cheers
Trev.

Better scenery than Mildura and the Murray ?

And Trevor is sure making the most of the beautiful scenery, then sharing with us lucky bunch.....

Seems like we must be a bit slow down this way. Like Keith, I only just discovered this thread tonight and couldn't get over the magnificent photos you've posted. I love Tassie and seeing your photos makes it all come flooding back. Those photos at Ross are very much what everyone goes there for. You're a man of many hidden talents, and all of them exceptional.
Please keep discovering your area and supplying us with your magnificent photos.

And there we have it "The Under Statement Of All Time".

Before moving down here I never bothered much with photographing birds.
Back in Mildura you had your choice of either sparrow's, crow's or seagull's.
But down here there's so many that I've never seen before.

Even a common Starling sitting on a branch in the morning sun is a beautiful sight.



There's a fair chance I'll be getting that tie dye t shirt Peter!.

Cheers
Trev.

OK
I'll ask.
What lens do you have fitted to your EOS1000?

Should have read the whole thread.
I see you're using a Sigma 150-600

The Sigma 600 is used on all of the bird photos.
The rest are mainly with a canon 18-55 or 35-105.
When I'm out and about I usually have six or eight lens with me.
And a couple of bodies.

Cheers
Trev.

Hi Trev,
Before you order your tie-dyed tshirt, I think you might be enjoying an undiagnosed bout of tourist syndrome? I saw a man yesterday wandering around an area that I had always taken for granted and never bothered with a second look but HE was finding things worth photographing? It got me thinking. I have just had a couple of lazy months touring and ALWAYS had my camera at hand. I photographed things and places that the locals also took for granted and so they often stopped to ask me what I was doing. They looked at my photos and were amazed to see their World through my eyes. Tasmania, and especially your bit of it, is probably one of the most beautiful places in the World but I reckon that if you were to go back to Mildura and the Murray in a few years time you will look at it through tourist's eyes and see beauty and birds that you had never noticed before?
One of my 'retirement plans' ( number 48 I think) was to travel the Murray with only one camera, my old film Widelux, and black and white film. The Widelux takes 24 x 59mm negatives/positives and the second part of that plan (number 48B) was to publish a panoramic format coffee table book just of those images....but my mate who lived down that way moved away !
Please keep posting your beautiful pictures while you are still in awe of your new home, I reckon the local tourist office will snap you up ....so to speak?

Trev thanks for all the photos

Our recent trip to Ballarat we wished there had been time enroute to stop and take photos. Worse these days is finding somewhere to pull up and park, road shoulders and rest areas have gone by the way side with road widening. Not to mention the boring motorways.........or are they? Right time of day can produce some spectacular views and shots even a short walk into the bush, down to that creek etc. So often we rush by to get where we are going we miss the beauty around.

Good call Ray. When I am driving somewhere and not in a particular hurry, I set a time before I leave and stop wherever I am AT that time, get out of the car and force myself to take a photo. In the last few months, that has resulted in photographing a 200+ year old unsignposted dovecot, a rainbow over a previously un-noticed beach and finding a hidden sign to a public footpath that led to the ruins of an abbey.
Ah....taking the time to smell the roses!
