Re: PESOs Out of the Office

That's what I would think but I'm not sure. The KP and DA300 is the max for me handheld. with the 1.4 TC I only gain detail if I use a tripod or get lucky handheld. Once I find a good deal on the 150-450 I'll bite. The 150-450 / K1 probably is no fun for walking around. On Thu, 11 Mar 2021 at 02:5

Re: PESOs Out of the Office

Thanks Larry, Luck it is. I just saw two birds on a tree trunk from my distant position. I focused on an eye and pulled the trigger. One flew away. I thought he was gone by the time I got shutter. I was surprised by the result. The fun of birding. Paul > On Mar 10, 2021, at 8:35 PM, Larry Colen

Thanks Ann. Looking forward to more time outdoors. We got our second shot today. The gloom is lifting. Paul > On Mar 10, 2021, at 8:13 PM, ann sanfedele wrote: > > Great stuff, Paul - so glad you were able to get out for a good session. > > ann > >> On 3/10/2021 12:35 PM, Paul Stenquist wro

GESO: First Breath of Spring

We have had three relatively mild and sunny days here, and although the snow is still deep and solid where it was piled up by snow plows or snow shovels, most of the lawn and the area under the trees is finally free of snow. To my delight, a few early crocus appeared in full bloom. There are a lo

Re: PESOs Out of the Office

Great work, and your birds are so much more interesting than towhees, juncos and steller’s jays. The nuthatch confrontation is definitely a keeper! Great job capitalizing on the luck and being able to capture that interaction. > On Mar 10, 2021, at 9:22 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: > > The wea

PESO: Neighborhood Iceberg

It has been weeks since the last snow, and we have had several days of warm, sunny weather, plus two heavy rains, but the frozen iceberg of plowed snow remains at the end of our cul-de-sac, in front of our house. http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2021/3/10/iceberg K-5 IIsm smc

Re: PESOs Out of the Office

Nice work, especially with the woodpeckers, but confrontation is simply an extraordinary image. It has action and drama, plus a fine composition and wonderful details in the plumage and the tree bark. That is one for the wall, or the cover of some magazine. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-P

Re: PESOs Out of the Office

That's what I do (with the KP and DA300). Would love to see an uncropped version. I can't make up my mind if the 150-450 with or without the K1 would make any difference. I usually crop a lot (75% or more), amazingly without any loss in detail. On Wed, 10 Mar 2021 at 18:35, Paul Stenquist wrote:

PESOs Out of the Office

The weather and work load cleared enough yesterday that I was able to spend some time in the yard with the birds. Most enjoyable! Paul https://www.photo.net/photo/18646164/Nuthatch-Confrontation https://www.photo.net/photo/18646165/Red-Bellied-Beauty https://www.photo.net/photo/18646163/Red-Bel
