Hey everyone! New to the forums and just recently bought my first Pentax k-3 (previous canon user). I love this camera + 15mm ltd. It does indeed control my mind!

Beautiful colors! Welcome to the forum.

I finished some more softball photos. The K-3 really does will with people and action.

How much RAM does that computer in the 2nd image have?

karro · 07-19-2014, 12:03 PM

#1 - norm, 2nd is really nice.
#2 - Steve: about 2.5 petabytes (a LOT): Petabyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, look for human brain

A male Superb Fairy-wren from this morning.

Pentax K-3, Sigma 500 f4.5 APO DG EX, Pentax HD 1.4x Rear Converter, Metz 58AF-2 flash, Better Beamer FX-3, tripod

M (manual) mode, ISO 640, 1/1000th, f9 (corrected for RC), flash in PTTLHSS mode at -1/3EV

Love your shots Rondec. Excellent as usual.

I found a spot where bats funnel down from the brush to the lake to hunt after dark. For a few minutes after 9PM there are maybe two dozen or more that fly back and forth within inches of my head. Of course one must try to get a picture.

This is the best from this evening. 35mm macro limited with Metz 50 AF1 on 1/4 power, 400 iso f4. Triggered with the flucard. Works well, the latency is no issue with the flash. Allows remote triggering and fiddling with settings while getting ready.

A Red-browed Finch from this morning. Same settings as the Fairy-wren above.

Cool Derek. What settings did you use on the camera ?

That is a typing machine, not a computer. There is no electronics involved.
