Re Practicing with the K.3.3

Something more challenging;


Not a great image IQ: Little Falcon (Merlin ?) hunting dragonflies, very small and in hi-speed swoop.





IQ, This is the challenge; Getting a sharp high contrast, image in these conditions

* Stretching the equipment, hand holding 600mm, wide open; degrades the image
* I.e. non-optimal light, shutter speed and aperture ; softens the image further
* Tracking a small Bird passing in and out of the narrow field of view of a big telephoto in a blink.
* Subject is small to start with, even at a relatively short distance so, in this case a 60% crop is used - further degrading the image.

It’s all solvable with a bit of planning but as the year goes on fighting with diminishing day-light levels adds to the challenge as well as the birds presence, prey opportunities and hunting pursuits change.

Hey oh! What’s new - this is how BIF photography is but for sure the K3.3 will help.

An impressive start with the K3III . And certainly better than my efforts with a K3 at a falconry display a week ago...

Looking forward to what you can get out of the camera after the "bit of planning".
