Nature Pentax Q PK adapter and Sigma 500 4.5 ex setting 2

Pentax Q PK adapter and Sigma 500 4.5 ex setting 2 · **2 Likes**

i was very lucky to have my q and the sigma 500mm with me this past weekend...was at the river and saw this osprey chowing down on a big catfish...i would have never been able to get close enough with another camera... i did find the branches in front of the bird and fish distracting... can't have it all..i took a few pictures...moved in a little, took a few move, moved in and then he flew away...manual focus so i am quite pleased..just wish those branches hadnt been there...poor fish, not the way i want to go

jp it's called being lucky, right place at right time..thanks

Awesome shots Amy! The last two especially.
How close did it let you approach?

Good to see you working the Q with the 500

RobG · 04-08-2013, 08:27 PM

Cool shots! Interesting to see the combination of a 500mm lens with the Q.

larry distance is a hard thing for me..the last 2 shots were barely cropped...i'm sorry i have no idea

Great shots, well done. I don't think the branches in the foreground are as distracting as you think. It gives it an interesting sense of place and you know it's a "real" nature shot, if that makes sense. Outstanding work with the 500mm and manual focus!

slowpez · 04-09-2013, 07:47 AM

I agree with everyone else, outstanding shots.

daacon · 04-09-2013, 07:57 AM

Branches aside outstanding captures.

**Kerrowdown** · 04-09-2013, 08:15 AM

That's some pretty stunning imagery, well captured.

tessfully · 04-09-2013, 08:27 AM

Fabulous and Intriguing images... wow... can't stop looking at them.

**Miguel** · 04-09-2013, 08:33 AM

Bravo for both the shots and the inspiration.
