thank you for a very nice compliment!

I agree, one of the best shot i've seen with that lens

The photo of the swallows is a pearler.

I came across a cat sunbaking outside a burrow when I was in the Flinders ranges. I don't much like cats, they are killing small native birds in my backyard.

ISO400 - f5.6 - 450mm - 1/320s

... AF (spot) is erratic with my K5IIs after 400mm,
so... manual focus, and i can see better results, it's really surprising

Something a little different - sunset panorama at 150mm from a few days ago.

Are you a turtle? If you look behind the one on the right you can see some swamp gas bubbling up just to the left of him. Montezuma NWR. Central NY.

Ok.... I reckon I'm going for a first with the K-1...... 'The first shitty shot posted"

And another backlit with DFA 150-450

BIF with K-1 are significantly easier then with my K3.

I don't think that first shot is bad at all Noel and the second is pretty darn good.

Just jettison a little ballast there in the first shot. Very nice shots.

Vey nice Noel.

Good news about the AF.

Thanks

Like the second shot a lot. Just got back from the Barossa to find the Aussie post notice under the door so really good to see early shots and to know that BIF is easier than with the K3.
Hoping I can produce something as good as either shot
