PESO: Big Red

A Cardinal high up in the White Oak. Shot with the K-3, DA 150-450 and DA 1.4X converter. I went to this combination so I could shoot from my deck while recovering from surgery rather than setting up out in the yard as i’ve been doing for years. The K-3 gives me the FOV of a 945mm lens on a

Peso: Wascana Park

This is a rather boring scene from my outing with the granddaughter last Sunday. Lightroom just added a whole bunch of canned presets in the latest updates, including an infrared one. This is a one button conversion to infrared. To me it isn't grainy enough, but the only time I shot infrared

Re: PESO: Big Red

Thanks Rick. I think the head is just a bit noisier. It was in shadow and required quite a bit of dodging. The K-1 is less susceptible to noise and may be inherently sharper. DOF would be very shallow here as well and I’m shooting at a tilt angle of 60 degrees or more so the head is at the back

Paul, Is it just me, or is it not quite as sharp as your usual? The branch is sharp, as are the wing feathers; so either your uncooperative subject was moving its head, or the DOF with that rig is very shallow. The composition and colors are very nice. Rick > On Jun 18, 2021, at 11:53 AM,

Re: PESO: Opportunists

That's a cool photo. I'm going to have to show this one to my daughter tomorrow. She's really interested in mushrooms, they're growing all over the place here. She really enjoys helping the adults do a "health and mushroom check" at her preschool. Due to the weather we walked home yesterday

Re: PESO: Hippo with Ox-Pecker

Thanks, Rick. I'll play around with the BG as you suggest. The Hippo is about 40m away. It was quite aware of us. There have been 2 resident Hippos in Sable Dam for some months. That unexpected 45mm rain a couple of weeks ago topped the Dam up to about 80% again so it should now easily last
