That's a very nice scenic. Lighting and color you cannot go out planning to find (and be successful).

Wonderful shots FS.....all of them.....but the donkey wins. You are posting so fast I hardly have a chance to view/ comment.

Slow down and see if you can fined some handsome squirrels to shoot!

BTW- He asked for compliments on his most handsome and fine tail! I told him it did look better than an ordinary rat!

Going into the weekend here, I thought I would finish up the Heron stalking series with what happens when you get too close...

You get BIF! (Bird in Flight)

Eye's get a little big... hmm... what is that guy up to? He is getting closer...

Retract wings, check... It is now safe to unfasten your seat belts and move about the lake. Thanks for flying with us.

That's a great sequence. Even if the K1 is slower than a k3 for sequence shooting, it's obviously more than sufficient in this case.

Totally agree........

Another couple of shots with the cousins.

[arnold]

That is a good sample there Arnold. I have seen conflicting reports on that lens (is yours the SuperWide or SuperWide II? I wasn't sure if the non II was available in AF...)


Some people report as you do, that it is sharp corner to corner, others say it's a flare monster and soft wide open, and I wondered if it was just the difference in model number, the whole series or peoples shooting styles.


Your pic is at F8... have you tried it in other situations where the sun is coming cross wise or closer to the element, or at f2.8 yet? Just curious, Thanks!
Eric

Yes, it is the AF Superwide 11. In this picture, f8@350 you can see aperture reflections (no hood used), but the picture is not washed out. I like this lens.

Here is one straight out camera, 1/25@2.8 hand held

Just moved to a new apartment, took my K1 out for a walk this afternoon.
Fall is coming for sure.

[LeRolls]

@LeRolls - wow... just wow. The lighting, background and water rippling in that first shot are fantastic. Beautiful work, as always

Thank you kindly. Yeah, even I was kind of surprised how well that one came out. Of course Kelsea was also quite ecstatic as well.

[bpv_UW]

Awesome shot!

Awesome Brandon! And well worth clicking through to see the larger photo on flickr too!
Eric

Thanks to both of you!

That's a very nice scenic. Lighting and color you cannot go out planning to find (and be successful).

Indeed. I actually thought I'd get skunked this evening until very late in the game as the storms that were moving through waited until the last minute to begin clearing.

Hey that's in my neck of the woods. Nice shot!

Thanks Matt. I knew I was in your territory in CB - I remember seeing several images you've posted from there. Beautiful country!
