stemked Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 <p>How Y'all.<br> <br />Sometimes you make due with the equipment you have.</p> <p>I was out to try and photograph some late migrants birds. I had a macro with me, a wide angle lens, and the 600mm. But on my hike in For Harrison State Park near Indianapolis I became fascinated by reflections in a small pond. So the 600 switched duties from a bird-chaser to a reflection-catcher.<br> All taken with a K3 +600mm f5.6 <br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/18115369-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="451" /><br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/18115371-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="451" /><br> just a few feet away from the last image.<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/18115368-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="451" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattB.Net Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 <p>Good stuff!<br> .<br> Here's some of the first snow of the season from last week from my office roof. <br> K-S2 & 18-135<br> <a title="IMGP2338-Edit.jpg" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/mattbnet/22375321162/in/dateposted-public/" data-flickr-embed="true"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5728/22375321162_d10b23c1d9_z.jpg" alt="IMGP2338-Edit.jpg" width="640" height="427" /></a><br> .<br> I visited my parents in Michigan over the weekend (plus a couple of days). Color is still hanging on there but is past peak in a lot of places. I used the wireless transfer to my phone a little more it was actually kind of cool. I didn't bring a laptop and it allowed me to post some photos on social media. I shot RAW+ and just grabbed jpegs. It's still kind of klunky in some ways but it works and can be handy.<br> K-S2 & DA 15<br> <a title="IMGP2400-Edit" href=" data-flickr-embed="true"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5822/22520483111_c688074360_z.jpg" alt="IMGP2400-Edit" width="640" height="427" /></a><br> .<br> K-S2 & DA 15<br> <a title="IMGP2356-Edit" href=" data-flickr-embed="true"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/580/22495931562_dd93016d55_z.jpg" alt="IMGP2356-Edit" width="640" height="427" /></a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snik75 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 <p>Nice colors, Matt! I'll add some more below. I know what you mean about the wifi transfer, I've used a FluCard with my new K3 and it is a clunky process but nice for immediate sharing via social media.</p> <p>Speaking of the K3, I love it. At first I had some adjustment to the buttons, and I still don't have everything perfectly fine-tuned, but it is one hell of a camera. Definite step up from a K5 in some way I can't quite articulate.<br> Javier, good to see you back! Nice slices of LA, as always. Dorus, that water droplet is a remarkable image.</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snik75 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 <p>Doug, I really like those reflections. Hard to believe with a 600mm! Howard, lovely ladies as always.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snik75 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 <p>I recently swapped my DA70 for an FA77, and feel it was a good choice for me. I never connected with the former lens, and the latter really sparkles. Here's a candid of my daughter with no PP, just nice light in the cafe.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemked Posted October 28, 2015 Author Share Posted October 28, 2015 <p>Nick,</p> <p>I really love the 77 myself. It's my 'daughter' lens, I really don't do much else with it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorus Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 <p>2ehand 77mm is what I am looking for. Anyone, by chance ?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattB.Net Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 <p>I just set up a trade with a guy on PentaxForums to get a 77 for a 70 plus some cash. I like the 70 but I'm intrigued by the 77 and this seems like a good way to get into one without having to flip the 70 first. <br> Dorus, there may be another one in the for sale section over there. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorus Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 <p>True, there's 77's on the pentaxforums.com, but they are shipped usa or north america only. Something I don't understand.<br> Nowadays I don't even bother looking at the marketplace-section, it's annoying.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemked Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 <p>Dorus,</p> <p>B&H has pretty decent prices on them right now, about $100 less than when I bought it several years ago ($671.02-gotta get those two cents). That might not help, but they do ship internationally.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
