Re: Experimenting with the K-3

Yep, it was ISO 10,000. Sun was going down and the bird was in shade. Had to keep the 1/1000th shutter while handholding with that much glass. The K-3 is good in low light. Paul > On Nov 8, 2020, at 1:34 PM, Rick Womer wrote: > > Paul, was the sparrow really shot at an ISO of 10,000? If so,

Re: Experimenting with the K-3

Paul, was the sparrow really shot at an ISO of 10,000? If so, the detail is remarkable (though there is a bit of noise). Nice shot overall, too! Rick > On Nov 7, 2020, at 11:33 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: > > I wanted to try handholding my birding rig with the K-3 and no battery grip. > I

Re: Experimenting with the K-3

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 use a monopod for baseball and football games. Works well there seated. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Sat, Nov 7, 2020 at 1:35 PM Paul Stenquist wrote: > Thanks Larry. My knee is wrecked, so I have to shoot sitting. The

Same knee? If so I'm a bit surprised. Alan C On 07-Nov-20 08:34 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: Thanks Larry. My knee is wrecked, so I have to shoot sitting. The tripod works okay. I have a nice monopod that I used when I was able to walk in the woods. Maybe I’ll try it from the chair. New knee in

Re: Experimenting with the K-3

Thanks Larry. My knee is wrecked, so I have to shoot sitting. The tripod works okay. I have a nice monopod that I used when I was able to walk in the woods. Maybe I’ll try it from the chair. New knee in January! Back in the woods by March! Paul > On Nov 7, 2020, at 11:44 AM, Larry Colen

Re: Experimenting with the K-3

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

Experimenting with the K-3

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
