Originally posted by Jonathan Mac I can see you're having fun with that DA* 300mm, and producing some great photos in the process. I'm not one for wildlife photos in general, I find most of them overly PP'ed with ridiculous contrast and saturation, but I like your take on bird photos - they show a lot more character than most.
Real nice of you to say, Jonathan. Yeah just picked up the 300 from a forum member a couple weeks ago and it's definitely breathed new life into the K-3 for me. I'm not a huge one of wildlife photos myself, truth-be-told, so thanks - that's my aim. I'd much rather a shot have a story or be interesting otherwise rather than just a perfectly sharp subject showing as many feather or hairs as possible. Though there's a definite place for those as well - field guides rely on them! Just not my thing per se though. But yeah - definitely having fun with it - I have a bit of a bird obsession.
