First off let me say I love my new Sigma Camera Lens. But it doesn't love me yet.... I did take it into the camera shop and embarrassingly it was user error! Sheesh! A kind professional photographer happened to be in the shop visiting and took pity on me as well as putting me on the right track. Hopefully. Anyways, here's a few practice shots....

Truly amazingly clear photos Shelley! Just so pretty!
I've never really liked the Red winged black bird but the colors on your are so pretty, vivid!
Hi Shelley,
I would say that you already master it. These shots are great and the background homogenous with a lot of light. Just perfect. Did I miss the type of lens you got???
At what distance were you from the subject? Nice and clear pictures.
Wow! What beautiful, clear shots Shelly!! That's a great camera you have there!!
Oooh, I love your new lens, too. I've never seen such great shots of birdie expressions!!
It won't be long and you'll be getting shots of hummers for us! Nice shots!
Shelly: What a terrific lens, beautiful close-ups of the birds.
Shelley,
Looks like you did well with your practice shots!! Nice colors on that red-wing. I don't know how far away you were but the details on both birds are extremely nice!!
OHMYGOSH! Such gorgeous pictures Shelley! I am so envious. The pictures are absolutely perfect!
Great shots.A new 'toy':) like that is so much fun.Keep on enjoying it.
Blessings,Ruth
Oh Shelley,
The new lens (and you) are incredible!!!
Perfect photos!

Oh Shelley, I love your new lens. WOW!!!! The bird pictures are just SO good---much better than mine (taking pictures through the glass and screen)... ha
Be careful with your new favorite bird, the Pine Siskin. Pretty soon, you could have about 100 or more of them at your feeders... Drove me crazy!!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
Excellent photos Shelley!
I know you will have fun with that lens!
Lovely new pics Shelley ! Have fun with your new toy :)
...nice....love the red-wing, and the photo of him is so clear!
So beautiful Shelley! I'd say you definitely have the hang of it now!
Shelley it looks as though your new lens is working quite well and that you have found your way around using it! Beautiful pictures, the detail is wonderful. Call me a little strange but I love looking at little bird feeties! I am thrilled that I found your blog.
Enjoy your Spring-ie Sunday!
Looks like the lens is a success! Wonderful shots of both birds.
Great pictures! I know you are having fun with that great lens. We saw a huge flock of those Red-Wing blackbirds the other day.
Glad to hear your lens is working! Both shots are good, but the Redwing photo is terrific. Keep up the good work. Exactly what did they tell you about the lens and how you were using it? I'm still thinking about buying one of those. Maybe could you respond on my blog, or right here in your comments? Thanks, Mona.
YES!!!
Love that Pine Siskin. :)
The two most dreaded phrases at the repair shop:
1.) User error
2.) Unable to duplicate problem
I'm sure you and the lens will work everything out. Lovely photographs.
Wonderful photos!
Wow! They look awfully good to me.
Well hello close up birdies! Looks like you have control of your lens now!
Gorgeous and clear.
Don't try to improve upon perfection!!

Glad you got everything worked out with that lens. Your practice shots are great - I'd say you've got the hang of it!
I've enjoyed all the latest photos, good job. We have junko's here too I think.
