Re: First PESO in a long while
Very often I would look into my Ricoh EVF and think to myself, if I could take the picture as I see it, along with the "running ants" of focus assist lights, that would look good.

Exquisite shot Mark!

I like this very much. It's soothing. We have a lot of the standard three-petal trillium in Michigan, it's our state flower and a protected species.

The light was amazing (there's no clipping even in the brightest parts of the water) but it still took a lot of subtle-but-time-consuming work in Photoshop to get the tonality you see here. Another think I like about it is that it's both a high-contrast shot and a low-contrast shot: It starts very high contrast in the foreground and gets progressively less contrasty with greater distance, due to the fog. The shutter speed *was* relatively short: 1/4 second at f/22 (ISO 100) with the DA*16-50/2.8 on the K5. I think this will make a nice print on the new Epson R3000. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

"Cratch things"? I think you're referring to the bits of seed that the finch has pulled out of the feeder? That finch feeder is the "upside-down" type, which has the feed holes *below* the perches. Finches can easily hang upside-down from the perches and get the seeds but other birds can't (it's fun to watch the sparrows try sometimes, though). >nice bokeh :) I've been very surprised at the good bokeh that lens produces. Sharp, too, where it needs to be. (Of course, it should be for the price, never mind that it was a thousand dollars less than the Pentax equivalent...)

Well I guess I'm looking at the revised one - sweet litte goldfinches -one of my favorite birdies... not too green at all for me, but the kinda cratch things on the right below the acrobat's bill are a tad disctracting. nice bokeh :) ann marvelling that i actually was able to view one of Marks files!

Depth of field with 600mm is pretty thin, even at f/8! I had focused on the side bird perch because that's where the most photogenic poses usually happen. But then you get an exception or else the bird feeder rotates (both happened here).
Re: First PESO in a long while...
Mark, Better color, and a nicely whimsical pic. I like the way one bird is looking right at the camera while the other is upside down. Is the focus a little off? It looks as though the seeds in the feeder are sharper than the face of the upright bird.

Probably too much work, eh? On my monitor (calibrated two days ago) the second looks better. It's hard to judge with no known color references in the image itself, though. The seeds in the feeder should be a fairly neutral black.

It is good to see you PESO'ing again Mark. But I'm sorry to say this; I'm kind of with Bruce here.
