You're sharper than the image, P J. This was the best of an un-sharp bunch & I probably overdid the sharpening. I still need to check the back/front focus too.

Super Telephoto lenses are a different world.   That's a nice first
attempt.   You really need a less noisy sensor, and either the
processing was a bit heavy handed or Flicker is especially lousy at
displaying images when it zooms in...

A shot with my "new" toy - a Sigma 170-500 APO which I acquired for a mere R1000 ($70). I would have preferred a Pentax 150-450 but couldn't find the other R34000. After the first few shots I can see there is a bit of a learning curve ahead.

K7. Range about 60m. Heavy crop.

Having endured a couple of dry weeks in the low 40's (C), we finally had 75mm in the last 24hrs including a heavy fall of 45mm. Most of central & northern Kruger got it so the pools & dams will fill up & the grass will grow. Unfortunately, the mosquitos will soon be out in force too.

Happy New Year to you all.
