Thanks for the comments Ann, Dan, Bob. Bob, I agree about the darkness of the eagle exposure. I've cranked it up a bit, overall and shadows, and reloaded. http://photos.stanhalpin.com/p769975649/e633301d4 I've also added another eagle shot from today; this guy wasn't as close so I had to crop

Stan, I don't know if you have enough detail for this, but you could push that eagle farther. Bob Subject: Pentax K-5 II s handles back lit situations... Pentax K-5 II s handles back lit situations nicely. ISO 200 and DA60-250 and 250mm @ f11 and 1/100. see original and adjusted in LR5 by 1.55

No zoom. A few in the gallery may have been with the DA*300/4.0; most/all were with the 300 + F1.7xAF extender. I have my Sigma 150-500 zoom with me but this combination is smaller lighter and I find I prefer it. I meant to bring the 60-250/4.0 to try out with the 1.7x but it sits on the shelf

Nice collection of images! The loons and other waterfowl are great, but I really like the three damselflies hanging like thin blue flags on green reeds. Great! Mark On 7/16/2013 10:51 PM, Stan Halpin wrote: Just added a couple more portraits to my gallery of shots from my ongoing vacation

Stan, The loon with the dragon-fly/miniature helicopter hovering is really terrific. Some of the others are nice field guide portraits but loon and friend are definitely decisive moment fun. ann On 7/16/2013 22:51, Stan Halpin wrote: Just added a couple more portraits to my gallery of shots

Stan, A very nice GESO. The dragon flies and ducks are very nice. You need to crank up the exposure on that eagle. It's too dark, and Lightroom could fix that. Regards, Bob S. On Tue, Jul 16, 2013 at 9:51 PM, Stan Halpin s...@stans-photography.info wrote: Just added a couple more portraits to
