Did you know that in Old English, the colour orange had been called simply yellow-red (“geoluhread”)?

The word “orange” was used to describe the fruit before the colour, and of course, oranges aren't native to England.

And so? The Spanish word “naranja” was taken from a Sanskrit word meaning orange tree, and English adapted this to "orange."

Anyway, here's a geoluhread 911. (Or, more accurately, an Apfelsine 911...)

Post Script: All these photos were taken with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 Macro. A stunning lens to explore the macro world.

I have the L-Mount version for my LUMIX S5II. The stabilization in the camera body pairs brilliantly with this lens for handheld joy. Can recommend. I'm shooting mostly at F2.8 with Auto ISO + minimum shutter of 1/200th. High ISO is invisible on this camera anyway, but for bees and fast moving macro I go to 1/1000th min instead.

11/10

SIGMA 60-600mm Field Review

Loads of sample photos here on the blog post, including a very illustrative comparison of a landscape moment from a recent sunrise in Tjoritja NP captured between 60mm and 600mm :)

Really impressive lens this one!

A few fun moments with the super telephoto in Arnhemland.

LUMIX S5II with the Sigma 60-600mm for L-mount. Lots to love in this lens.

If you're interested I've got a deep dive on the Sigma 105mm F2.8 macro on my website. I'm using the L-Mount version on the LUMIX S5 and S5II, but the Sony E mount is identical.

It's an unusual lens the 60-600mm, and I'll be writing a lot more about it on the blog soon. I've spent the just 5 years shooting telephoto in the G9 with effectively 800mm, so stepping back into full frame telephoto was a bit of a shock for me! The results were amazing though.

About twice a year I get a chance to go shooting wildlife. I'm relatively inexperienced compared to real wildlife photographers. And yet the results I get from a few days in Arhemland carrying a Sigma 60-600mm and the LUMIX S5II were incredibly rewarding.

Having great people on the ground helps. Also cameras are getting crazy good these days. Using a tripod to carry the weight of this telephoto in the boat was great too.

Still thinking about my trip to one of those countries that actually encourages and supports active transport, especially .

How many photos can I attach here? Here's some from a recent work trip to .

Ah, the limit is 4. Odd that the image picker let me just keep selecting multiple images, and didn't alert me of the limit until after I hit 'done'. Oh well! 🤷‍♂️
