Finally some snaps!

Taken from inside the kitchen looking through a double-glazed window at the snow-covered (barely) garden in almost complete darkness.  This is one of two solar lights, looked alright really.  Picture taken with my Sony SAL-75300 300mm zoom lens with the flash on the first one and disabled on the second.  The tripod is the perfect height for sitting on the bench with the rubber feet ideal for not scratching the surface!  I can't wait to get out with it more and put it to use outside; but this was just too good an opportunity to miss.  I think I much prefer a ball-head than a tilt head for lighter lenses at least.  I haven't put the Bigma on it yet. 




In addition, it was still snowing in the first picture. 

Best regards
