Thank you both kindly. Maybe lower resolution means lower royalties - or perhaps nothing stacks up against the DA*300 ;)

The RAF are retiring the Tornado in March after 40 years of service, and are doing a final "lap of honour" to mark the occasion. I popped out to a field near Duxford with a work colleague and the trusty K-1 and DA* 300/4. 1 minute 12s of excitement...

This is part of a 14-image series of butterfly photos taken between 2018-07-06 and 2018-08-02. All were with the K-1 and DA*300; 9 of them were taken within the space of an hour, in an area about 240x80m, and are of 8 different species, with a couple more species being taken in the same area during the next few weeks. The rest were at various times and places in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Surrey.

Rather than spam a single thread with all 14 images, I thought it would be fun to post them in different threads and provide a link from one to the next. Follow the links to threads you might otherwise never have looked at!

Onwards!

(Actually, I ran out of relevant threads, so a couple have two posts in. Sorry. :o)

Thank you all for your kind words! Forgot to say that I also used magnified Live View and manual focus. I should also have taken a test shot with AF, but didn't think to. I'm fairly sure that wouldn't have been a keeper...

Wouldn't say I'm particularly skilled, compared to many here. But it's nice to share the results when I do get lucky!

Cheers

Spotted this Painted Lady warming itself in the early-morning sun, perched in a tree about 5m from the bedroom window. Out came the K-1 + DA*300, plus Moman mini tripod and IR remote...

Here's the SOOC jpeg:


And here's the crop, after a bit of colour adjustment and sharpening in RawTherapee. What a lens!

You could video it. Oh, sorry, forgot for a moment: Pentax...

BBIF? Actually, the same bee twice... K-1 + DA*300, ISO 1600, 1/1250 @ f/8, continuous shooting H.
JPEGs SOOC, top bee cloned in from the second shot with a bit of re-alignment, and cropped to 3200x4800.

Thanks - you're too kind. I was quite happy with that one myself...

Doh! You're quite correct of course, brain fart on my part. Fixed in the original post...

Thanks
