Meyer Optik Gorlitz 300/4 on K-3, first attempt at Moon shot and realise I need a longer lens to get there . . .

At least you have the megapixels. The moon is a reasonable size in the frame at 1:1 from my K5 using the DA*300, but obviously the detail isn't great.

Recently I've been lucky enough photographing some waterbirds with fish captured. It is fascinating to watch how they swallow big fish.

This one is from last Saturday:

This is the view looking north... two days before spring and it's snowing, and when the snow stops , it's going to get cold...

First image taken with the 21 ltd.

The rest taken with the DA*60-250 and 1.4 TC @350mm

The feeder was busy...

Looking south, it's all blossoms & butterflies--right?

Awful conditions, but things showed up. The swallow was a shot I wouldn't have bothered trying to take with the K5, the K3 focused. Dark and rainy, so stretching iso and slow shutter.
