Chilly morning at the ocean
Lens: DA 55-300mm Camera: K5 IIs Photo Location: Beach ISO: 800 Shutter Speed: 1/350s Aperture: F11

My first day as a member I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to purchase a DA 55-300mm from a member here you gave me a great deal and shipped it the same day, so I had it by Friday within plenty of time to shoot early this morning. I love this lens as it is very handy, but I must admit as a novice shooter I have a difficult time trying to relax, so I see my subject bouncing around in the viewfinder a lot with long lenses. Today was especially difficult as it was plenty chilly and windy on the beach this morning. I relaxed and tried to control my breathing (excitement) as best I could to get a sharper image, but nothing there was nothing I could do to eliminate the sail-effect on the fully extended lens in the wind.

All things being considered I think it turned out pretty well Thanks for looking and happy shooting.


BTW, this was shot at 300mm (450mm/35mm equivalent) with cold bare hands post RAW processing in Aperture 3.5

What a cool shot - the serenity of the bird contrasted with the dynamic backdrop of an incoming wave. Have fun with that new lens - I've got one and use it a lot.
