Very nice series - now I'm really starting to miss my 'injured' K5

I love the high key look, it works brilliantly here. They're all very good - I like the dynamic of the second shot and the sharpness of the third. Very impressive. I was just about to post a first attempt at some seabird shots I took at the weekend, maybe I still will, but I'd feel a bit of a wally after seeing these. Terrific.

These would work brilliantly as a set Alan, especially if you were to crop them to the same size and shape IMO.

A very good set of images. Can you provide EXIF data?

Thanks for the comments - much appreciated. Dr O, post your pics, I've had a quick look on Flickr and you've took some super ones.
These were all at 1/2000 and f6.3 (that's wide open on the Sigma 150-500 at 500mm). Shot in TAV mode. First one is ISO 1000, and the others ISO 800. I've happily shot with a much higher ISO on the K-x, it was the AF that I feel made the difference

Thats a great set of pictures Alan. I'm not a bird expert but I can appreciate these as both artistic and action shots. What focal length were you using?

These are shots that I hadn't previously managed to capture satisfactorily with the K-x. However, the day was a mixed bag, though I'm obviously hoping thats down to unfamiliarity.
