Rainy day with the Bigma. · **2 Likes**

I'm stuck in the home today on this dark rainy day with the floor installer so I decided to make the best of it while on the laptop. The first 2 shots are from 6 ft distance with the Bigma.The last 2 I played with the "Filters" in the K5.All in all it isn't a bad day.

Great shots. Amazing what you can find in your backyard

The fifth is marvellous - I like the way the raindrops were rendered. What was the exposure time?

The effect was done solely by the on board filter (pastel) with the K5.The data on the shot is 1/125 sec--f/6.3--ISO 800 at 290 mm.Here is the original shot.--charliezap

I got to give the birds all the credit.They are around quite a bit and it does make it easier to "capture" them.

Very nice stuff, Capn. The second one, in particular, is a marvel.

+1 on that thought

I'm usually not a fan of a lot of the filters, but the fifth image works really well.

Thanks Marc. Sometimes the filters make a decent picture from a so-so shot.They are fun to try out and experiment with.
