First K-5 shots · 10:55 PM

These are meant to be mere test shots, but I suppose some of them warranted the creation of the gallery

The the last shot was taken with the FA* 300mm, and the others with the DA* 50-135mm. JPEG, default settings, ISO 100, P mode. No PP except for cropping in all but the last two. I'd say that these are pretty good results considering that!

The sky is very intensely blue - did you use a polariser? There does not seem to be much distortion, fringing etc. I think cropping the third one to include only the side wall and reflection might look pretty amazing. colinb23

I love these kind of edgey architectural pics - looks like the camera has got some chops, as well.

Nope- just the bare lens. That's the Arizona sky for you
