One of the great features of our K-5's in catch-in-focus. I've had a setup in my mind for almost a year now but never got around to trying it out. It all started last summer while trying to capture our Hummingbirds. I thought of putting the camera on a tripod aimed at a spot where they land often near the feeders would be a great way to get some great images. I know I am not the first to do this, but finally had to give it a go this afternoon.
The setup conditions were pretty much terrible. Shooting through double pane glass - against a white background of snow - dark cloudy skies - and it was snowing at the time. But, this was just my initial experiment so the actual outcome of the images wasn't my first priority.
K-5 set on a tripod - catch in focus enabled - continuous shooting enabled - used a wired remote release with the button locked down.
In about 2 hours I pulled the card and had 265 shots. I made my first cull, and uploaded the set of 42 remaining images. I only did a universal post process of raising the brightness of all the images +1.8ev as all the images were a bit dark due to the meter exposing for the white background. I have a lot more work I want to do to some of these images, but thought I would share my results - please excuse the composition and editing as these are pretty much right out of the camera.
