GBH at the Alameda Open Space

This was back on 07 November which was a cloudy and dreary morning a week after I purchased an older Sigma 400mm lens. I was able to continue trying out the new to me lens. It's difficult for me to accurately catch focus. I've been leaving it at f/11 and then adjusting exposure with ISO in an attempt to get as much of my subject in focus as I can. Thank heaven for the Fuji's focus peaking sparkles as the lens doesn't communicate with the camera.
This was the best of the lot.
