A cross post from today, taken with my "HM The Queen" (SMC Pentax 500mm F4.5). ISO 2000, F8.0, 1/2000 sec.
Excellent shot. I miss that SMC 500mm f/4.5

Miss it... it was because of you and your images I got this lens, are you telling me now you no longer have it?

It has been awhile since I have posted anything but had to share this one. It came as a shock when it turned out, not because of the lens but because of my skill level. I must admit to being very pleased with it. No cropping either just downsized for posting here.

Do I need to tell you that is a stunning capture? As good as it gets? Any pro would put it in their portfolio and hope - no expect to sell it regularly?

BTW: If you use LR, experiment with the "shadows" slider a bit to bring a little more detail out in the under wings area. If it improves the image to your liking, try next a nudge to the "clarity" slider which will tend to slightly brighten the light spots and darken the dark areas of the underwing.

You probably took a few unflattering pictures of her with it, and now she just blocks it out like a bad memory.

If she ever offers you a tour of the tower, don't accept.
