K1 & 150-450mm at Mt Rnr WA, US.

I had bracketed(3 frames) planning to do HDR. While processing in darktable, I tried Low Pass Filter to extract details from dark areas. When contrast parameter is -ve, LPF brightens the dark parts and dims the lighter parts. In the end LPF gave more balanced output(in terms of contrast) compared to HDR (Exposure fusion) output. LPF technique can be applied on just 1 frame. So now I simply use LPF filter for generating HDR effect.

Hi Kerrowdown - I always try to avoid punctures when I can, even with non venomous snakes like that black snake. The last time a "non venomous" spider put 2 holes in me, it still caused a wound that wouldn't heal until most of it was excised. Around here we have a few non venomous black snakes, one Ringneck with a colorful band around its neck, then the Black Racer, which was fun as a kid because it would run away from you when you chased it, then turn and chase you the second you stopped and walked away, and you could keep that game going back and forth for a while, then the Black Rat snake is black with a white stripe. All of them are great for keeping the vermin population down and none will kill you, just put a couple of holes in you if you surprise one enough or step on one by mistake.

This guy was in the hedge among the butterflies and bee's I was shooting and he just froze when he saw me and would only stick his tongue out for a split second when I would snapped my fingers with my left hand, so I had to take the picture one handed with my right hand... not easy on the wrist with the DA*300 mounted on the K-1.

I was walking a trail once and an old photo buddy who had stopped several steps back commented that the branch I just took a large step over wasn't a branch, but a fat Cotton Mouth snake, sunning himself on the trail.... oops!

They are mostly dark/black'ish also, but usually near water. So as you are walking the trails early in the AM, trying not to face-plant into an Orb Weaver's web, you do have to keep an eye on the ground too for snakes... and the shrubs (for wild boars, we've got some 350+ pounder's with big tusks around here)... and the shoreline (gators)... and the low hanging branches (bee's nests, more spiders, snakes, etc. ) fun times! But I have heard from friends that travel that we have nothing on the Aussie's, that just about everything in nature over there is trying to kill you or eat you...

Great portraits. Seems an exceptional lens.

Think that was my senior moment for the day. The last one that you liked was actually taken with the K1 Mk1 and the DA 60-250.

Maybe that's why I liked it the best
