Duncan with K-01 and DA70

This was processed from DNG in Elements 9.  ISO6400, 1/6s at f/3.5, manually focused until whiskers glowed with focus peaking.  The camera was set to -0.7EV so I boosted the light a bit, but not too much!  Also removed color noise but luminance NR is set to zero; also removed a slight magenta color cast.  Given 1/6 second exposure this is mighty good, and the small amount of processing at iso6400 speaks volumes about the sensor & internal circuitry in the K-01.  The lens cannot help but impress too; wish I'd gone to f/2.8 for this.

Oh yeah: I'm happy with this!

Sadie with the Tamron 90

  Sadie is having hi-thyroid troubles, and the medication is only now starting to work. This makes her a very easy target for imaging! This was manually focused with the Tamron SP 90/2.8 Macro at f/3.2, cropped only. A very nice lens, and not merely for counting lenses in a bug's eye.

This was one of our last shots of Sadie - after recovering from the thyroid issue the underlying cancer was revealed.  Rest peacefully, Sadie.

Duncan likes the quiet K-5 shutter

I have finally posted a few shots from the K-5. Yes, it does indeed show off the now-legendary 16Mpixel Sony sensor: this is a straight jpeg, no adjustments but cropped to reduce clutter from the scene. ISO 6400 is an acceptable speed for this camera, especially for simple snaps. Had I really been trying it could be a better image, but this passes the PGE test (Plenty Good Enough!) easily.
