K10D first image to share

One of my first images - so be kind
Used my FA SMC 135mm 2.8 which as MattMatic said does fly on the K10.
It has been well cropped down by at least 60%, so I am well pleased with the resolution, did do a bit in CS2, tried the highlights/shadows and sharpen.


So relieved all my existing SMC FA lenses work perfectly with K10, without all your advice @ the forum I wd have been reticent to go ahead and buy it.

Excellent photo Lilly


Great clarity, would have been nice to a pic of the whole bird.

Also the eye might have been a bit lighter as you can not make out the center of the eye itself also exposure a bit bright on the back of the neck.

Good start for your first image Lilly.

Pete, I can't seem to find just what knob on the K10D Lilly should turn to make it brighter on the left and darker on the right.

Cheers

Very nice Lilly.

If your using Photoshop you could try lifting the dark areas with the "shadow/kighlight tool"

Hi drew it ws only a slight observation if you are looking for imperfections .

What she could have tried is spot metering of the bright are of the image or better still a midtone area near the sceen, then lock the exposure but with a moving animal thats difficult also this might have under exposed the darker areas.

Best way is to edit in photoshop with shadow/highlight as Brian has said

Cheers Pete
