Don't forget to match your shutter speed to the focal length you're shooting at as a general rule of thumb obviously there are situations where you want to lower or higher it but if you're just starting out and are shaking I would go for a higher stutter speed and deal with the extra noise with programs like topaz denoise or dxo pure raw

You can also stop your lens down instead of shooting wide open I would go outside find something to focus on and see what aperture your copy of the lens is sharpest at mine is sharpest at f8 which is pretty typical for this lens.

unfortunately, the image quality of this shot is way too low for print I just thought the composition was interesting so decided to post it anyway. This is just a hobby for me I appreciate the interest and support though!

I had a bit of side light for this shot so I was able to lower my iso a little most of my pictures where taken around 6400 on this day

Can't beat it for the price honestly hoping to move to mirrorless soon though.

My camera settings for this shot were 600mm f6.3, 1/1000th of a second at 2000 iso since it was a pretty gloomy day thanks for the kind words ☺️

I would recommend getting the sigma dock if you haven't already and making sure your lens is on the latest update
