Second the prints from DS Colour labs, they are good, The Range to some reasonable frames that are good value

The duck is a real winner. The colours are wonderful. You must be very pleased with that camera -lens combo.

Thanks Peter, yes the combo is pretty much my goto wildlife kit, just means I need to be at least 2m from the teasel for example cos of the min focusing distance.

The 150 - 450 does take a while to get used to and master.

The last two just ooze quality - simple, clean, crisp and effective
The first one at 1/15th on 450mm is quite something - are these tripod or handheld Chris :

All handheld John

BTW I don't see many Astro shots in here.

Another one from Oct LY just before the clocks went back, standing on the top of a 5ft step ladder so I could see over the fence at Fairford with a K3iii plus the 150 - 450.

1/640 sec - F5.6 - 400 ISO to combat my movement !! As shot apart from a decent crop

Many thanks, Chris.

Is it also worth trying bracketted shooting ?
(I don't think it will be tonight as it is distinctly foggy here today and the sky looks very cloudy !)

Peter

You can do, I just did a bit of trial and error, I started with to low a shutter speed, the moons brighter than you think plus you need a shutter speed to overcome your shake and the moons movement

No problem Peter, it was a reasonable clear sky at the end of May and the moon was high up in the sky, I used the edge of the back door frame for support.

Stick the camera into continuous shooting mode, shoot at least 3 and frame 2 should be sharper
