Well captured. did you get a shot with as much of the train as poss on the bridge looking forward with the curvature ?

Very well shot, hiding the sun behind the tree has helped with the overall exposure, is it worth a closer crop to the trees to accentuate the superb light and lose a little of the foreground and sky ?

First impressions are very good,build quality as we all expect for Pentax, noise handling better than the K3ii and poss better than the K1, certainly up to 800 .

AF again seems improved, not tried it yet on BIF, had a visit planned to Slimbridge last weekend but thouted by the weather so will try again as soon as poss.

I'm having a K5iis converted to IR, been with Advanced for 8 weeks now, seems they are having difficulty getting the filters through as quick as usual with Brexit nd all that.

Pretty much the first outing with mine lunchtime today, had it a couple of weeks, but the weathers not been good and when its been reasonable I've been working.

Had a chance this afternoon for an hour at a local pond, first impressions, the focusing does seem better, quicker and more accurate, did try some mating damselflies in flight but very skittish, got one sharp but not the other and the bg was distracting with the 150 - 450 ( equiv up to 695mm ) again hand held, they were very tricky.

200 iso - 1/50th sec 150 - 450 at 450mm ( so 695mm equiv ) Handheld SOOC

800 iso - 1/1000 sec 150 - 450 at 450mm ( so 695mm equiv ) Handheld plus a reasonable crop

I need to play more with it and with the AF settings

I was interested to see that around half of the 'contestants' have the camera strap around their neck whilst the others don't. I have always favoured the former. What do other forum members think? Michael
Have never used a neck strap, prefer a wrist strap that I use when feel necessary otherwise use the grip or lens foot mount as a holding

There was a flying display at The Shuttleworth Collection on both Sat and Sun, probably from there
