GSW with K3 and DA* 300mm
You assume right David, tripod mounted on Manfrotto 393 head. I think I got more keepers with the K3 than I would have with the K5, it wasn't very good light (hence ISO800) but the K3 nailed the focus, I can't wait to use it in good light :-)

A few 'big sky' pictures over some Norfolk Marshes
Thanks for the lovely comments. I did think about cloning out some of the lights and signs but decided to keep it as near to reality as possible. However if I planned to put these on the wall I would definitely take your advice. It was pretty close to pitch black by the time I had finished and s...

Yorkshire Sculpture Park
I love the 'surround' OOF effect in the last one - it looks a bit like one of those 'toyland' software filters, or is it actually gaussian blur masking? Its not just shallow DOF is it, because the centre distance is in focus as are the areas left and right of the subject. Shapes & forms in the la...

sheltering
Great clarity and sharp focus! I really like the muted colours as well, the blend between browns / greys / greens is very subtle. I'd clone out the red berry or flower thing at the top right.

Today's try for a Kingfisher
Hi barrie Yea its as I thought. Unfortunately the lens doesnt deliver great results at the top end of the spectrum - 500mm I've attached a photo of a buzzard I took at 440mm at F9. I very rarely use 500mm on my lens opting to bring it back a wee bit. Shoot at that length at F8 and you'll ...

Today's try for a Kingfisher
For what its worth Barrie, I normally just pull mine back in a touch. Normally ends up around 450mm. Also try to stop down, even if its just to f7.1. Having said that there a couple of does in my portfolio shot at 500mm f6.3. And you can pick out every detail on a 16x12 print. I think the big ...

The Races
Thanks Dave, and David. The last 3 were part of a 13 shot sequence, and I was more than happy with the focus on every single one

Bullfinch
This is why I am worried about the K-3... Thus far I havent seen any wildlife shots that have blown me away with the flagship camera Which is troubling because I want to buy another camera in the new year and am seriously considering buying another K-5 The example attached is of a female b...

The example attached is of a female bully I photographed back in september - handheld with just saturation boost at 800ISO... Looks more like late spring/early summer looking at the foliage :wink:

K3 and flodlit footie.
Are they that crap :( No they are not. The second last shot possibly sums up the forum mood at the moment, quite a few people watching and others distracted (maybe by Xmas). Some focus issues on some of the shots. I have to assume that you don't do much of this type of photography as some key ...

K3 and flodlit footie.
I'm afraid most seem to have either missed the 'decisive moment', or focus, or both. Sorry to be blunt, Brian :( Not easy to shoot I'm sure.

No 2 shows why I do Football using 'Manual Focus' -- your Pentax has focussed on the nearer players and an editor wants the one kicking the ball in Focus .

K3 and flodlit footie.
Are they that crap :( Exactly what I'd come up with faced with a subject well outside of my comfort-zone. I bet you get better results next time. I wonder how many out of focus shots professional sports photographers have to discard.

Winter on the Beach
Love the first one - great timing and perfect shutter speed to capture the water running back into the sea. Very clever and effective.

Brown eyed Girl
I hope YOU watched your POCKETS in Las Ramblas while you were concentrating on Photographing ! True story... I went to Barcelona with a group of friends a few years back and watched a guy try to pick the pocket (handbag actually) of one of my friends... Amazing how "Oi!!" translates so well... H...

Emley Moor Tower, W. Yorkshire '13
Hey, we walked past that place on our Boxing Day walk this lunchtime, we did the loop back to Little Lepton, that's when I took this photo... Are you originally from London or the south then?
