Saw this outside my condo about 40 feet up a tree.......male iguana......Pentax Q7 & Sigma 170-500......very low light conditions- in the branches- can't believe how improved the Q7 is over the original Q with noise.

Terrific! Glad you're liking your Q 7.

Nice work. Thanks for the context shot!

I haven't shared here in a while but I am attempting a 52 project this year so hopefully I'll have more to share. Both with the original Q and the 01 lens

First time birding with the Q7 + Pentax Q-K adapter + DA 55-300 HD WR + monopod with fluid pan head. I knew that I was taking a risk using a monopod instead of a tripod but I wanted ease of movement. I had practiced at home for nearly a week to find the optimum shooting technique and it turned out OK. Both shots at 300mm (~1400mm EQ) and one or two stops from wide open, ISO320, 1/1000s (mechanical shutter. Shake Reduction was on.





I suspect that the owl was taking off because he spooked by another photographer scrambling around the dunes (an ecological No No) with his big Canon gear and got too close.

Excellent shots! Welcome to the forum.

. . . a risk using a monopod . . .

My solution's been to simply remove one leg from a light, inexpensive tripod of the correct height. Much more portable in the field than a tripod and very much more stable than a monopod. With a neck strap for the 'third leg' you can even have both hands free for manipulating the camera.

With a quick release or magnetic-mount ball head you can easily separate the camera and 'pod when walking.

I've just received a walking-stick/monopod, which I'm hoping to use in circumstances like yours. My first experiment with an adapted lens was taking a picture of our street sign from a block away using a 70mm-210mm Canon FD lens; I took that picture with no support (it was entirely hand-held), but it was quite sharp. Obviously I'll have to do a lot of experimenting with the monopod, but I'm hoping that the in-body "shake resistance" will be up to the challenge. Of course, your using a 1/1000 shutter helped your results a lot, but I view the clarity of your pictures partly as a tribute to the in-body shake resistance (and to your technique), so I'm hopeful that my walking-stick/monopod will also work out. Thank you for the encouraging results!

When I showed it to my wife, she said it looked like a drawing ... which was a complement in that setting.
