Hi Pentaxians I took the K10D, the Tamron SP 500mm F8 mirror lens, the Monostat monopod and the Pentax AF400-FTZ flash for a ride on the bicycle this early morning to the allotment to take some photos of the breeding starling.
It's far away from an ideal setup for birding (but it's what I have ;-) but luckily starling are quite big and I could go as near as 10 meters after some very patient waiting. K10D, Tamron SP 500mm mirror lens ISO 200, F8 1/125, Flash at hi manual on K10D , raw, acr converted, adjusted and cropped to about 60%: http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/solicom/stare1.jpg http://www.mypage.bluewin.ch/solicom/stare2.jpg I will go again for some starling photos for a comparison and use the Tokina 400mm M42 next time...., my Pentax tele/zooms are too short at 200/210mm. greetings Markus -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
