What a face! Looks like a cartoon drawing but is clearly real from the rest of your photo. Really interesting capture!

Since people enjoyed the pelican so much, here's a bonus picture. Click for Flickr and exif.

Here's something a little different. Using the DFA 150-450 on a K1 with AF.C, I followed a short flight of a pelican. Despite the bird's trajectory being mostly away from me, focus was maintained throughout. Click on this link to see the complete set of 13 frames.

This is frame 5:

Haven't posted here for a while, but still my walkabout lens for the most part....

Swallow taking a Swallow

Getting a silver eye or two

Getting seriously ignored (just like back in my disco days)

Just Herroning around

A moon picture in the making.

Trying out the 150-450mm on the K-1 mark II. Of course there will be a moon shot. I am so far very impressed by this combination.

This 150-450 lens is my walkabout favorite too because it works on close and far subjects too.

...and yet another Laughing Kookaburra.
If you're sick of seeing them, look away now

My first experience with the DFA 150-450mm was with a rental lens that I hired for a trip to Alaska in June 2016.

Before hitting the national parks I gave it a test drive at the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage

Some sighters

Some of the inmates

This was my first outing in the wild with the rental lens.
