I will try it. I shoot football and baseball with a monopod as well, but standing. Shot handheld again today with K-3 and the 150-450, but no converter. Got a few good ones. Paul > On Nov 7, 2020, at 2:19 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > > I use a monopod for baseball and football games.

I remember seeing (whilst he was still alive) a TV programme about his work at the cottage and how he created the garden. When the crowdfunding opportunity came up, I jumped at it. Now I only need to find time to go and see it. > On 07 November 2020 at 16:04 Bob Pdml wrote: > > > I think

Paul, I liked them both for different reasons. The canopy is just so sweet, calmingly bright, radiating optimism in these troubled times. The sparrow portrait is beautiful and he/she seems to be posing for you. No arthritic hand was visible anywhere, by the way. Bulent

I wanted to try handholding my birding rig with the K-3 and no battery grip. I generally shoot the same lens combination with the K-1. The K-3 minus grip made it significantly lighter than the same lens and converter with my K-1 and battery grip. I also thought it would be fun to try the 945mm

Unfortunately this mushroom (Helvella crispa, white saddle) contains small amounts of a toxic rocket propellant (MMH) but it would look pretty tasteful on your dish. https://flic.kr/p/2k3VFcb Henk -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
