A day out w/ the K10

A day out w/ the K10 · 07:49 PM

Spent a day out shooting w/ the k10. Went and visited the central park zoo.
the SR worked great in the rainforest area, tho the animals wouldnt quit moving, so even w/ SR, there was still motion blur on their end.

anyway, here are some of the shots I took today..(total of about 250)
she handled well....tho i cannot wait for the grip, as my big hands did get somewhat tired near the end of the day.

most of these shots I used a Sigma 70-210mm lens and the Kit Lens (18-55 DA)

No PP work aside from cropping and resizing

a few more shots...

Comments good and bad are mostly definitely welcome.

I have a few more I will post later on...

they look great, jon!
the colors are great and the pics are sharp.... I am amazed they came from the kit lens. I don't know much about the sigma lens you are using, but seems good.

the dynamic range is great too!

looking forward to the other pics,

randy

thanks...i think that set...I used mostly the Sigma...
but the kit lens shots were great too..I'll post those up later

oh and I forgot, the squirrel...the one i uploaded was the one I applied unsharp mask..but the original one isnt that much different...

Envious of you having k10d

Hi Jon!

A day at the zoo is always a good camera workout! These are great. I like the bird photos, particularly the wood duck, the best.

Glad you're out enjoying the new camera. I hope to be doing the same tomorrow. Had to work today.

Great shots Jon. That wood duck one is really beautiful.

-=JoN=- · 11-26-2006, 07:36 PM

thanks for the comments all..

here are a few more I took that day..(in Central Park in general and not in the Zoo)

I also like the second photo from the first series.
And the first form the second series.. it's almost amazing...

Really nice Jon,
Have you noticed that these shots have that "3D" quality that you usually get with a limited lens. ISO800 too. If this a trait of the K10, I'm REALLY gonna love this camera.

I like the park bench and bird shots the best.

I don't know what kind of duck that is but it's not a wood duck, not the North American version anyways.

Keep them coming!

clarenceclose · 11-27-2006, 03:27 PM

Duck???
Anyway I really like the composition on the park benches. Almost see the ghost images of the players in summer.

My video card must be on the fritz.
The duck picture finally came up.
It is a Mandarine duck.
