This is certainly one I'm proud of. I don't have many BIF shots.

Thanks! I will have to go back to the same area while they are still nesting. I imagine that afterwards they will probably not be around.

Thanks! I wish I could spend more time at that spot. I might have to arrange a couple of long weekends.

Excellent continuous focus improvement this is a photo impossible to achieve with a K5 or K5II.

Personally I like it, it gives me pleasure to be able to see it and enjoy it.

Thanks! I don't usually use AFC but in this case I thought I'd give AFC-Auto a try, and it worked.

Thank you! I am looking forward to getting more detail out of the DFA 150-450 with the K3iii.
