It was a cool and blustery day with spitting rain while we were out. I did manage this in a moment of relative calm.

I use Lightroom 6 for most of my images. Now I'm not sure that in technical sense, LR allows me to pull more detail out of KP generated images. But the program may help improve the illusion that I do so. One of the things I try to do in LR is bring up the shadows and tame some of the hi-lights without compromising contrast and tonal gradations. I seek a look that looks natural but, in terms of color and contrast, is a little bit better than nature. Assuming this is successful, what it does it allows the detail in the image to be presented in the most attractive way possible, which I might in fact make the image seem more detailed. There is also, it should be noted, a tendency (1) to confuse contrast with sharpness; and (2) to confuse image quality with sharpness. So people will often assume that a more contrasty, better looking image must be sharper, since sharpness is often assumed to be the primary or sole factor of image quality.
Here's an image shot with the K-1 and the FA 80-320:

A favorite spot for rock climbers.
I've always wanted to explore Smith Rock SP, but not to climb it...

This little guy was barely the length of the nail on my little finger, and perhaps no thicker than two pieces of cotton twined together.

My best bald eagle yet

Even at F11, the DOF is too narrow to get everything sharp

While out on a scouting drive, my wife has located our first Snowy Owl sighting of the season in the Montérégie region.
Last year, none... we didn't see any at all, Nada!
As for the specimen here, it looks to me like a male, not quite mature, because of his little spots, but I could be wrong...
p.s. I lined up the silo behind the bird on purpose, to make it stand out better against a darker background.
Harfang des neiges / Snowy Owl [Bubo scandiacus]
#pentax #pentaxk3mkiii #sigma500 #Sigma2xTC
The light was awful, and subject was far away...
EXIF: 1/800 sec at ƒ/5.6 (ƒ/11*) ISO 3200 @ 500mm (1000mm*)
Shot taken on a flimsy tripod (forgot to disable SR). Manual Focus with LV peaking. Cable shutter release.
**I used a 2x teleconverter at the expense of even more light (so the aperture was probably ƒ/11 in reality).
PP in Lr and PhotoAI.
More EXIF and details on flickr!
