      Please I want to ask how to use Canon 90d camera with Sigma 100-400 lens. And what conditions should I work on?

      Learn the triangle of aperture, shutter speed, and iso, and how each of these affects the other 2, (eg, if you narrow your aperture to get greater depth of field, you will need to slow the shutter speed) and of course, the result. IMO, use manual mode and auto iso. Learn which of your AF modes suit you best (this is quite important). I have settled on pin point for stationary subjects and wide area subject tracking for moving targets. Just keep shooting, reviewing, and learning!

        I actually bought a Canon 90d with a Sigma 600 lens, and this photo is the result of my photography skills. I hope you like it. Thank you, David, for your response to me.IMG_٢٠٢٣١١١٣_٠٣٥٥٢٨

        @Adel That is a very nice capture with great eye detail. What bird is that?
