This time I have got a new zoom lens. Sigma 70-300mm DG. Awesome clarity and performance at this price range (price equivalent to $160 USD). I would say one of the best bargains I have had.
Later made a trip to Bankura for some travel and journalistic features. Results are increament in stock, new experience to count on and some more interests revealed. Also tried the other side of the Bankura and very ordinary places also looked beautiful through the lens. This is what the photography is all about. May be next time I will be able enough to reveal its beauty from the ordinary.
I also tried the lens with studio flash and setup, and guess what, it gave me excellent results. The only problems is the sound of the AF function motor. it sometimes allerts the insects/animals and I lose them. however I think this is a very good lens for the starters like me. The macro feature really helps you to get closer to the subject which I think is most important in macro photography. The minimum distance is 0.96m. which is about 3.1ft. A safe distance and also close enough to get a full length compositions.
There are other news about the press release and publications I had last and this month. Last month the photograph of Ranjit Kumar Maiti was published in the case study on Indian segment of AMD's operations. SPH publishing published my photo of Victoria Memorial on the Japanese edition of Silverkris. This is a magazine from Singapore airlines. Last month the local tabloid Somachar Saatdin published a review about my photo Hollowman from the 2nd Light & Shadow annual exhibition held at Kolkata information Centre during 17th to 21st June. However, I still havent got the hardcopy of Silverkris. What can I say, I am sincerely waiting for the mag to come.
