p.s. Who said Pentax K-1 wasn't good enough for sports?

It wasn't me, I swear. Looks like you caught all the action in this shot. Nice water sports capture.

Great detail produced by that K1.
Requires some skill in the handler; I know that for sure!
Angky.

Thanks angkymac! Yes for sure good technique (and support gear) with that big lens is a requirement, but combined with the K-1 and it's wide dynamic range it helps a lot!
the K-1 is my preferred body to use in general (not sure that the K-3iii would get as good results).

p.s. I have many other nice shots I need to publish from that outing... stay tuned !
