I was sitting in the family room watching TV, while Grace was drawing in the
kitchen. Having just repeated my sensor tests, following Pentax's repair offer
(still perfectly clear), I had my camera on hand, with the DA*60-250 mounted. I
cranked the ISO up to 6400 and shot grace as she worked in the next room. Both
pics are at 250mm. The first is f5.6 @ 1/80th, the second is f5.6 @ 1/50th. The
K-5's combination of shake reduction and low noise makes almost anything
possible. Couldn't have gotten these pics with lesser equipment. And if I had
moved in closer, Grace would have seen me, and the moment would have been lost.
BTW, this is the untweaked AWB performance in pure tungsten light. The AWB
performance is another plus for this camera.

And I'm sure the quiet shutter also factored into her not noticing you.
So many compelling reasons to upgrade, so little credit headroom. :-/
Beautiful light and wonderful candid moments, Paul.
