Little on the fly portrait I did with my small Fuji X-10. Backlit all the way, I had my girlfriend Line hold my white cycling jersey to bounce a bit of light. From the jpeg out of the camera:

Thanks guys. I had to do some more because these things won't last for long. iso 400 this time.

May 13th. With spring, life's coming up from the ground. To me, just seeing what Mother Earth can bring up makes me believe in a Higher Power. Few macros with the D600 and Sigma 105. Iso 1000.

May 8th I had time to take a slow walk into the woods nearby with my Sigma 105 macro and the D600. Iso was 1250 and aperture around f8. As you can see, this lens is stellar IMHO. 100% crop of the previous

@RussTnail & @Dooku77, make sure to check your camera "Picture Control" settings in order to have the proper in camera sharpening. The sharpening should be set to 7 or above and some cameras come with a setting of 4. This should give you a sharper shot. Now please note that this setting will...

April 26th, visit to the nursery until spring really springs in.

Third and last entry. Spring is just not here yet so we went to the nursery. D600, 24-70 2.8

If I understand your questions correctly, you are looking to have a different perspective than what you are getting with your present lens. Now there are two avenues you can go with. The super-wide angle (10-20, 8-16 or 12-24) that would give you a much wider field of view, or the telephoto...
