I've really been enjoying the colours from the K3iii. Perhaps I've changed my LR workflow a bit, but I feel like I'm getting some pretty rich colours from it. Here's a 7 photo stitch from Lightroom + Hugin.

Thanks! Do you mean the fact that it's 10,000 ISO? I should note here that this is one of the first raw images I've processed with DXO Photolab 5, so it has the AI noise reduction from that software. However, the noise in the image from the camera is not bad; just a bit grainy in the bokeh.

Given that the high ISO performance of the camera is so good, I've cranked the default shutter speed to 1/2000s and it has helped quite a lot, although I've been surprised to find that even that shutter speed isn't enough to freeze the motion of a lot of birds.

The fourth(?) image, with the landing approach of butterfly is fantastic

Second one also, looks kinda like nature shots from Kurosawa movies. Just need a bridge and a samurai on it

And here I have been bewailing the fact to myself that on a recent photography trip I kept forgetting to check my shooting details, and shot so many bird shots at ISO 8000, which, to me, lost so much of the feather detail. Case in point:

Overcast, bird in shadowy foliage. My eyes are playing tricks on me at times, so not too sure how good the focus is on this one.

When in a more aware and pro-active state of mind, I changed from TAV to Manual, fixed the ISO (prefer to not go higher than 1600-2000) and adjusted Speed and Aperture. Or if I stayed in TAV, I set an upper limit on the ISO. Even if it meant underexposure - I could lighten in PP. Would be very interested to hear others' comments on this - still feeling my way. And still struggling with shooting with The Monster (Pentax 150-450mm) (God, is that thing heavy - and the longer you walk around with it, the heavier it gets!!!)

By the way, I have just purchased Photolab 5, and trying to get to know it.

Photolab 5 looks really nice! I love that it supports DJI drone images. If I wasn't so invested in PS/LR, I would jump on board.

Yes the combo of ISO10000 and 1/2000! If you're having trouble stopping something in its tracks with that my old bones haven't a chance.

In the case of the Bellbird, bear in mind that I was very close, so there's little cropping. It means that there's a lot more pixels to work with. You probably weren't near as close to the Azure Kingfisher, which tend to be very easily frightened.

Yes, I need start regular workouts to strengthen my upper body to make working with the 150-450 easier. When I first got the K3iii I think I set the upper auto-ISO limit to 6400 ISO but I've since bumped it up to 10,000 ISO. In many cases I want an ID shot not the world's best photo so I don't mind sacrificing for some noise. However, I've been really impressed with the results at high ISO. What I really need to do is get up in the morning to take photos rather than shoot in the evening.

I use it to manipulate raw files, but I make an intermediate TIFF and then use a different editor to create the final JPEG. I've had some serious problems with JPEG output from DXO in the past, especially where there are subtle shades like sunsets. The quantisation noise in their JPEG implementation seems to have problems. I haven't used version 5 enough to know whether this is still a problem.

Personally I can't stand Adobe, especially now that it's subscription licensing, but that's just me.

Small birds move incredibly quickly. I need to try going to even higher shutter speeds, but then ISO becomes an even tougher challenge.
