Cat's Eye

Still assessing the new lens, the Pentax 55-300mm. Haven't really taken it off the cam yet. Luckily so as well, next doors rather shy cat briefly sat looking in our french windows. Grabbed the cam and had it set to TAV and F8 and 125th sec, taken at 300mm at the closest focusing possible, around 4 foot away. The ISO on this is 1100. Levels adjustment a bit of hikey processing and unsharp mask.





Am begining to wonder why I spent over £500 on the Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 lens.!!!!!

Impressive image - great lighting (see the nose!) and a truly hypnotic left eye. Really really good catch.

That is a cracker! I like the framing/cropping of the shot too and the use of DOF. From all I see the 55-300 looks like an impressive package for a (relatively) low cost/compact size lens. You're certainly getting ace results with it.
