Wild cat crouching
Lens: NIKKOR-H Auto 1:1.8 f=85mm Camera: K-5 Photo Location: The Alps ISO: 100 Shutter Speed: 1/500s Aperture: F4

I shot this picture of a quite wild cat in a field with my new (old) manual Nikkor telephoto! It didn't even need an adaptor to work on my K-5! I just took it off my dad's old Nikon and voilą, jammed it in and now I'm finally getting the feel of what real manual photography is like! And the full HD video it shoots when fully open takes my breath away...

Not to mention that the old school lense looks really sexy on the modern K-5's body eh eh

Hope you enjoy this not very special (but I believe quite sharp considering it was handheld) picture and looking forwards to your comments as usual

Good capture, he thought by crouching like that you can't see him, that explains his surprised face.
