A few from trip to South Africa

Had to make an unscheduled trip to South Africa. It was a bit hectic, but managed to take a few shots.

The first two you will find on my flickr stream. Check me out the. My username is gregcsmith. Or just click on the picture and it will take you to my page.

The last picture was taken at the 20/20 cricket match between South Africa and Australia. Now the sigma was not designed for light conditions like this, but it did not do such a bad job between 120 and 250mm. Any further and it did not managed to hold focus on the subject. I managed to get focus on the crowd quite a bit. Managed a few decent shots. All in all not unhappy, just know the limits of the glass. Maybe I need to save up for the sigma 120-300 f2.8. It only costs £2000...:-)

The d90 is a great camera and is highly recommended. I must also say that the sigma 120-400 is an excellent lens.
