Can't take full credit for that Scott, its mostly due to the magic of the DA*300.
And the fact you shot in shutter priority mode Can't take full credit for that Scott, its mostly due to the magic of the DA*300.
The detail on the underside is very good indeed.

Your quite right, sorry I forgot it only showns in Manual.
Instead, keep an eye on the aperture value, this will blink if exposure cannot be obtained at your selected shutter speed & iso.

No problem. It can get confusing when experimenting with settings. Try making a checklist of all you've learnt & if you start to struggle when shooting, take a 2 minute rest & check your settings against the checklist.
I think you should achieve sharper images using Tv. (just keep an eye on EV in the viewfinder to make sure you can achieve proper exposure as you could set an iso too low to achieve it even when the lens is wide open)
Don't be afraid to use program mode either, but using a semi auto mode like Tv or Av will help your understanding & control in the future.

this one also was with the DA*, unfortunately missed the focus on the eyes, the little fellow was at its antics again
Nothing is particularly sharp, I suspect this to be the 1/80th shutter speed. this one also was with the DA*, unfortunately missed the focus on the eyes, the little fellow was at its antics again
Try shooting in shutter priority at 1/500th with your 300mm.
You can set the other control wheel to iso. This will effectively allow you to then choose between shots with higher noise but with greater dof or Lower noise but limited dof depending on your subject.

The first thing I do when recieving a new lens is whip out the focus chart & adjust the focus accordingly. All my Pentax lenses have required a tweak due to front focus, which may suggest my body is a little off !

Here's the other image I took in Cardiff bay & was in my "maybes" for this fortnights competition (but have since gone a completely different direction)

It's the Millenium centre, also in HDR but not overdone I don't think, but you lot can be the judge of that !
