Well now, 300mm on 6.1 megapixels, and you get results like that! ? !

I'm impressed!

At least tell me you used a tripod?

Congrats!

I was using the fence posts at the edge of the cages to rest the lens on and using 800 ISO. This is the first time I am using my DS for ages and I am so impressed with it all over again.

Went to Marwell Zoo today. Took my new DA 300mm for a try out. i am still using my DS as the K10 is at the Pentax doctor.

I have loads to process but this one I love. Any comments gladly received. I know the background is distracting, but I was very limited where I could stand , and he/she wasn't going to move even if I asked nicely.

I like number 2 as well for the same reasons. If you dont mind a criticism, perhaps you could clone out the shadow on the extreme left of the frame ?

It doesnt specify on that that website if it is an M lens or a "K", but the picture is of an M (built in hood).

Thanks for the comments Terry. The ducks won't win any competitions I know, but I am always impressed with the performance of the "old" lenses. This is the first time I used this lens and it is a cracker.

Here is another from today with it.

I was using my DS with an old M 120mm 2.8 today. I was very pleased with this one. I think I may have have finally cracked my sharpening technique. I used either f4 or f5.6 for this capture. C+C welcome.

Thanks for the comments. Not HDR, just processed in Silkypix, but I may have overdone it with the saturation/colour choice.

I noticed the leaning building after I posted it. Having processed a bunch of photos I wasnt in the mood for going back and re-adjusting.... I just put a folded beer mat under the right side of my monitor !

A few taken today at Hever Castle in Kent, home of Anne Boleyn, and more recently the Astor family. Wonderful place to visit.

I used my old DS today as the K10 is back at Pentax being fixed. What a great camera the DS is.
