Yes a wonderful experience. But with my K5ii I failed miserably to track the birds in flight. All my images turned out to be out of focus. I used multipoint focus. Rather than single point. With longer lenses the set up just didnt focus fast enough. I was hoping for some pointers from the more experienced bird shooters here. As I obviously got it wrong. Or can @Pentax cameras just not perform in this mode of photography ?

Sorry to hear the news. I hope your up and back at it really soon....

Lovely set.. Hard work when it's sunny....

Ha ha... Luckily didn't get pecked at all. Believe it or not...Guess i'm just not handsome enough...lol

Just wanted to include this too..

Well, after all the hype I've heard over the years. I finally got the chance to pay the islands a visit on Sunday. I have to say that non of the hype is understated. What a fantastic photo opportunity.. Birds, seals and Dolphins all on show.

I have to say I'm not a wildlife photographer. So have limited abilities in this field. I struggled to capture Puffins in flight. On my K5ii. So If anyone can tell me where i'm going wrong i'd be most grateful.. My friend I was with had a nikon camera and seemed to be having no trouble what so ever. Tracking the birds flight on his D750.

I post a little selection of the images I did get.

ay for those that dont know it what a wonderful place..

Only used the cheapest of Chinese ones from ebay.. Had six of them three years now and still no fires, explosions or holocaust. Quite disappointing really... They do slightly under perform against the Pentax battery but only slightly and are a fraction of the retail price...

Great shots again Alan... And they say Pentax cameras are slow to focus on moving subjects.. So an extra pat on the back...

Inspiring Alan, If I get anything anywhere near half as good as theses this weekend. I'll be dancing in the street..

Super stuff... Well done. Maybe unlucky but I really like 13....
