I sure love the shots of the babies, how cute. Bob

Nice shot.

My fav is the first photograph. It could be possibly slightly reframed, since I feel that the bottom left of the shot adds little. Just a thought...

Thank you for sharing.

I have been playing with different aperture settings on this lens and I find the F4-F5.6 to be practical for my use. Focusing is easy but maintaining as you press the shutter is sometimes hard even with AF button pressed. May be because I am used to Nikon AF and Pentax is a bit slow especially with moving subjects so, I end up shooting quite few in continuos mode with to get at-least a couple in focus in that sequence. That is the kind of learning curve I am talking about.
Thanks Dave.

Also, smart. When mom left hurriedly they figured out what the problem was.
Of course I was the culprit.

Thanks Bob.

I will try and see how that will turn out.
Thanks for the suggestion.

The first 3 are terrific shots...love the colors...

jurysi · 07-21-2011, 06:35 AM

Fantastic captures. Thanks for sharing. For a lens of that size and length it will surely take a while to learn its particular ways, but the images certainly show the capabilities of the lens and the photographer.

You might be getting the hang of it.

Nice captures.
