Pretty much what P. J. said, Alan. Lighting appears a bit flat which never compliments an image. Visible grain, as the image is pulled up, doesn't appear to me to be due to ISO noise, but there may have been some which was "despeckled" in PS. Look forward to more tests with good lighting. thanks for sharing, Alan!

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. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/31833625372/ 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.
