Hi Ian,
K3 II with 55 - 300 DA PLM lens, AFC as default with newest camera, centre focus point, centre spot metering (average sometimes better, rarely use multi point other than landscapes)
.
i use TAV mode most of the time with camera starting at 1/500th F8 unless very dull.

With birds in flight, dragonflies (see my gallery) etc I up shutter speed, again if light permits. i have shutter release permanently on continuous shooting low.
I've tried back button AF which makes sense for easy AFC, AFS, manual switch) but too many years of using shutter button for me to get co-ordinated.

The combination works well for you along with your ability to pull off really nice images.
Regards Ian

Did not get such a good review with the camera store. They seem to think the K70 was a better option mainly due to the price.

Thank you all for the feed back and kind comments. The photo was taken around 2pm on a very hot day with the sun over my shoulder. It was taken from the jetty looking directly over the swan from about 9 foot. Just got lucky with the light.

You don't just get lucky with a shot like this Ian - you've made a set of decisions that have improved what could well have been a "nice" image into a truly excellent image.

Well that's nice of you to say Len very encouraging thank you.

Regards Ian
