Beautiful images as always, the last one just jumps of the screen. Beautifully processed, would be interested in your workflow with your shot's.

Lovely set. Like all of them, particularly #2. Did you humanely destroy it afterwards? :arrow:

Absolutely. They were ISO8000

Which is why the K-5 still amazes me. A K20D version would have looked like a gravel beach at that level.

excellent shots. it takes talent to take something mundane and common and make an exceptional photo of it! I like #'s 2&4

P.S.

My dog would like your squirrel to star in his next home movie...

Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

I like No. 2 the best, but they are all good. I've got that lens
but hardly ever use it since I got the 150-500mm. It's a lot
lighter to carry round though and in decent light performs well.

Pentax K-1 + K-5 and some other stuff
