K1 with Sigma 100 - 300 F4 @ Mach Loop

Great shots. Number 2 for me.

Would you care to share what AF settings you used please, ie what number of AF sensors selected? Was AF-c or AF-s selected, and did you use the AF button?

Sorry to be so inquisitive but I'm still trying to get to grips with my K3 c/w Sigma 100-300 f4. I'm slowly increasing my keeper rate and had more success at RIAT this year but all info helps, especially as a K1 is looking likely in the near future.

Great work Chris, they are all belters with #2 being my pick.
Cheers
Brian.
LBA is good for you, a Lens a day helps you work, rest and play.

No 2 - as others have said; 'menacing'. No 3 though - superb!

Good Morning All,

To answer a Q from Merryhampton, I used the centre spot focus on AF'C and just followed on the trigger button, unusually for me, I didn't use the back AF button this time, I've only have the K1 for 10 days and still tweaking the settings, this was its first outing other than a couple of test shots at home.

Thank you for all the superb comment's, I was pleased with these 3 plus a few more, its certainly an exhilarating place to be when they come through.

Great shots, I thin the second one is possibly the best aircraft shot I have seen on the Forum.

Remarkable, Pity there's no Pentax User mag to put such on the cover of. In fact this forum could fill such a mag today with ease I reckon.
