Hi to Dirk and all community members.
Lots of water has passed under the bridge since I last posted here. I'm just trying to touch base and maybe become a regular contributor again.
I used to be an avid Foveon user, using Sigma dSLRs exclusively. That was before I had my total deafness cured by the installation of 2 Cochlear implants. The result has restored my ability to hear again and in particular birdsong. These technical marvels reproduce the song of these feathered creatures in the most beautiful manner.
This led me to discover that my Sigma cameras were unsuitable for bird photography. So here I am now as a Canon EOS 6D user. A costly transition for a retired pensioner, as new lenses were also required for the new mount. But now, with the new camera and new Sigma lenses, life's good!
Here's an attached sample of my current work. The bird is a female Bower Bird and was photographed near my home in south east Australia
Sincerest regards, Jim Roelofs
