Just outstanding.

Thanks...yes very lucky.
Not very often that I can get one doing a manoeuvre like this and catching the light so well.

Cheers,
Terry

Still working out both the KP and the 150-450, but really pleased so far...

Banded Kingfisher (male) shot with K3 + Sigma 500/4.5

Yellow-rumped Warbler pausing on migration. The lower mandible seems a bit short on this one.

Edit: I installed the new K-3 III firmware update but I don't think I need any fine adjustments with the DA*300mm and DA 1.4x combination.

We see this Swamp wallaby from time to time - the cleft right ear makes her instantly recognisable. KP + FA*300 f4.5.

Thanks Albert. We have been seeing her for about 7 years now, raising one offspring after another.

Second time I'm getting the FA 80-320, after selling the first copy last summer. I have other, less wobbly, lenses in the 70-200 range, but the extra reach on this does come in handy. at 320mm

I've just acquired the 80-320mm too - arrived this morning, a silver one, mint.

Pied Currawong.
K-3 Mark III, DFA 150-450 handheld. See exif for shot details.

Cheers,
Terry

Beautiful sharp Capture. Not so much white on the wing tip as I see up here....southern variation? Juvenile? That is a very fast shutter speed you have used there.
