Maximise the mini? Does this non-Pentax image fit the bill? https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/38231379371/ Alan C -Original Message- From: Bob W-PDML Sent: 7 November, 2017 12:39 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: November PUG is up Gets top scores from me too.

Gets top scores from me too. Great stuff. I don't think ever seen so much minimalism. Is it better to have more minimalism, or less? On 6 Nov 2017, at 21:40, Ken Waller wrote: >> "At White Sands" by Ken Waller is also outstanding, to my eye and my taste. > > Thanks Dan,

Well put, Ann. I yelled up at him and asked about the whereabouts of his left leg and was promptly shown the foot with one toe sticking straight up. 8-o Love your always unique comments. J Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 6, 2017, at 11:00 AM, ann sanfedele wrote: > > Hawk on a

Paul I am just south of the tropic. Sunny 16 is right in summertime but probably Sunny 11 in "winter". I would expect ISO's of about 1000 but am actually getting up to twice that. I hate tripods. Alan C -Original Message- From: Paul Stenquist Sent: 6 November, 2017 5:33 PM To:

I just took a look at what the camera chose for this shot and found. It to have been 640. Wonder if the lens length and light angle are factors. Seems as though they could be.(?) J Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 6, 2017, at 6:47 AM, Alan C wrote: > > Yes, Jack, he is handsome

Re: Peso-Red Shoulder

Is this handheld? If shooting a perched bird off a tripod or even a monopod, I find that 1/500th is all that’s necessary. I do go to 1/1000th or even 1/2000th for handheld shots with big glass. Paul > On Nov 6, 2017, at 7:56 AM, Jack Davis wrote: > > > > Visited the

Re: Peso-Red Shoulder

Yes, Jack, he is handsome & well caught. I did some calcs. using the old Sunny 16 rule, @ 1/2000, f8, the ISO should be 500. I see yours is 640 so the light was probably marginally less than Bright Sun. I've been trying the Sigma 170-500 with your 1/2000, f8 formula & find the ISO's are

Re: Peso-Red Shoulder

Handsome indeed!! I like the arrangement of the branches and how they fit into the image and frame the bird. It makes for a strong composition. The sky color is lovely as rendered. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Mon, Nov 6, 2017 at 7:56 AM, Jack Davis

Visited the Sacramento National Refuge yesterday. Really filling up now with the fall migration. Absolutely hordes of noisy Snow Geese. Attaching a handsome hawk. Perhaps a Red Shoulder.(?) C? Thanks! DFA, TAV setting, F/8, 2000 shutter, Auto ISO at 1000 max J
