I’ve been doing some more filtering and initial processing of our Alaska images this evening. One that caught my eye was with the K-1, HD DFA 70-200 at 1/1000, f/8 ISO800 from a small boat while out looking for whales. Misty cloudy day. One image I really liked was a Stellar Sea Lion swimming parallel to the moving boat. A little cropping, a little bump in Clarity and a little noise reduction and I can see the water drops falling from his whiskers… I did miss focus on a few eagles flying overhead but otherwise have not been disappointed with the AF, exposure, etc etc. I also try to avoid filling the buffer because I hate that feeling when the decisive moment comes and the camera is temporarily unavailable while it clears the buffer… stan > >> On Sep 20, 2016, at 11:34 PM, Jack Davis <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> >> That's a nice image, Paul.
