Learning and listening

by PeterKR

This young blackbird was listening but I was learning - how to use my new DFA150-450.

I put the K50 onto P mode and autofocus and summoned up my strength to take some hand-held shots from the lounge through the double glazing,

The light wasn't that brilliant so checking the EXIF you'll see quite a high ISO and a low shutter speed for the full 450mm zoom !

Many thanks for the comments, Malc & Donna.

This lens may weigh 'a bomb' and cost 'a bomb' but it certainly delivers a a big 'Bang for your Bucks' !
This was just a quick hand held shot in poor light but the A/F was quick and accurate.
I'm looking forward to a trip to a bird reserve in May (but must get some more practice in before !)

Thanks again
Best regards
Peter
