Went to Marwell Zoo today. Took my new DA 300mm for a try out. i am still using my DS as the K10 is at the Pentax doctor.

I have loads to process but this one I love. Any comments gladly received. I know the background is distracting, but I was very limited where I could stand , and he/she wasn't going to move even if I asked nicely.

Well now, 300mm on 6.1 megapixels, and you get results like that! ? !

I'm impressed!

At least tell me you used a tripod?

Congrats!

I was using the fence posts at the edge of the cages to rest the lens on and using 800 ISO. This is the first time I am using my DS for ages and I am so impressed with it all over again.

It's a great picture. Perhaps slightly over-sharpened, but still excellent.

Cracking shot Peter, you've captured that very well.

Mine at home is similar in some ways, just a bit smaller .....

Taken on my old compact some years ago.
