Just a handful of images as the Q experiments continue. First, a picture of Shaney shot through the kitchen window.

Then an abstract of a flowering Amaryllis.

These are all shot with the Q and SMC Pentax D-FA 100mm f/2.8 Macro.

They are very good John. Were they all on a tripod I imagine they would have to be.

Great pussy shot!! He/she looks shifty. I'd be tempted to bring out he eyes a bit. Bit more contrast/sat/brightness on tehm

Yes, definitely on a tripod. A 550mm-equivalent shot needs all the stability it can get.

Shaney (she) was of course pointing the wrong way as the daylight was behind her, plus the double glazing reduced contrast as well. I was interested to see if a moving cat could be captured and how easy it was. It wasn't very easy, so out in the field capturing wildlife will be an interesting challenge.
Best regards, John
