Nature Local deer

Local deer · 07:30 PM

8 pm 4th of July, I followed this deer around...

I think it's impressive that the Pentax SR allowed me to shoot as slow as 1/80s @ 500mm, although I was braced against the side of a house.

Also impressive is the IQ you got with these pics with the old 'lil bigma! In the right hands these lenses can do quite well as you have shown.

Thanks!

What I've learned about this lens: don't shoot at infinity (soft images), don't shoot at low-contrast subjects (soft due to false-positive AF lock). Otherwise, it's pretty good.

very nice shots, I think you found a girlfriend.

She sure looks like she is posing for you in the first one. Very nice series.

That could be a problem, especially if she's the jealous type.

At the very least, she didn't seem perturbed by my presence. There were many bugs out that evening, I think they were bothering her.

Thanks, sneaking around about 50 ft away seemed comfortable for her.
