Afternoon nap - first photos with K3iii
Lens: DFA 150-450 Camera: K3iii Photo Location: Canberra, Australia ISO: 6400 Shutter Speed: 1/160s Aperture: F8 
Posted By: RobG, 05-15-2021, 04:36 AM

I visited Tidbinbilla Sanctuary with my brother and his family today, and took a few photos to try out the K3iii and DFA 150-450 - straight out of the box with no setting changes other than the date and time.




I certainly wouldn't get this quality on the original K3 at 6400 ISO.

We were lucky enough to see a Brush-tailed Rock Wallaby. I've been to this area of Tidbinbilla a few times but this is the first time I've seen one. Exposure; f8 1/100s 1000 ISO.

And here's a male Golden Whistler for good measure.

Good choice of location for your first shots. It's a joy to use.

Thanks! I'll go to the Botanical Gardens in the morning for some different subjects. I think it will be a joy to use once I get the custom settings for what I want, and try enough of the features to leverage what I'm not used to. I'm not saying that it's bad now, but I missed photos that I wouldn't have missed with the K3 because I have customised it.

Very impressive, Rob (and I'm a sucker for koalas). Enjoy the new toy!

I think there's something wrong with your dog.
