Share your March Photos (2024)
Quote from prisonwine on March 18, 2024, 11:07 pmi've taken a lot of photos so far this month but i just went out and snapped this pic of a robin with my e-500 and i'm just head over heels with the color this camera can produce. not shabby for 8mp! (slight lightroom edits applied but the olympus gets you 90% of the way there).
Wow, very nice! The colors are splendid.
Some B&W shots on a rainy day. The Pentax FA 100mm Macro WR is one of the better lenses I've used. If it was more like my wife's Olympus 60mm macro (focuses quietly, internally, and has a focus limiter switch) it would be perfect. Although the 100 seems to focus faster. That could be up to the cameras/modes used, though.

These are great shots
Hi all not got out as much as I'd like, going away this week hoping to do some landscape. First 2 are taken on the Lumix G9 (1st one on the Leica 12-60 F2.8-4.0 2nd w/Olympus 40-150mm F4.0-5.6) next 3 are GR III

Lens wise I have used the Sigma 17-50mm f2.8, the Pentax DA 50-135mm f2.8 both in the boxes and pitlane action, and then mostly everyday the Sigma 100-300mm f4 in order to see if it cover all I need and the only day I just replaced it with the Pentax DA 150-450mm was the last day, and yes it also worked very well.
I did noticed that my main camera's sensor was dirty and was cleaning it up yesterday, so this next weekend when we have the WorldSBK Race in Catalunya, hopefully images will be super clean 😀

Excellent shots! I love the variety. Something about the light on the coconut shot is mesmerizing.
Some more with the K-3iii & 100mm, then K-3iii & 300mm+1.4x for the eagles. 🙂

My pentax k3 arrived last friday ! ! ! Never bying a camera again (i hope) I missed shooting with reliable autofocus, so many more keeper pics ! The kit lens isnt isn't as sharp as I hoped, especially at the edges. Sometimes that looks nice though.

Nice!
Which settings are you using?
What I use for Motorsports (maybe it helps you out) is the following:
- on the AF menu:
- - Seg.Punto AF con AFC (I always use AFC), its translation should be "
AF point tracking in AFC": Type 3
- AF Sensibitily AFC: Number 5
- Subject recognition ON
- And I also use Center Point or Spot Small.
* I'm talking about Menu 1 AF, Visor AF (first option on top) and then the submenus it has
* Please beware I have the camera in Spanish so I tried to translate the menus in English but the names might be different.

For regular photography I have Spot AF, centre weighted metering (i think thats the name? second largest mode), AFS, single shot drive mode. I use AFS in case I want to focus on something off centre quickly, without moving the point.
For the bird pictures I made a profile: 9 AF points in the middle, centre weighted metering, AFC, fastest drive mode, Tv with 1/1600 shutter.
The people shots I was doing from the hip, 9 AF points, centre weighted metering, AFC, single frame, Av at f5.6~8 for a wider DoF.
I've been on and off with photography for a while so I'm definitely experimenting with those. I'll see if I can try your settings, but I don't think k3 has subject recognition, are you using a K3 iii?
also bonus pictures
