Hi,
this morning we went to our local ZOO, the Ecomuseum of Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue, it's small but fun to go with the kids. It was snowing .... again.... big wet snowflakes for over an hour while shooting, it makes for interesting shots
It was a good test for my K50 and DA 55-300mm WR, as expected the kit did very well and was not impressed by that snow
Due to the low light and to the slow maximum aperture of the zoom the AF was not as accurate as in good light and ended with OOF shots. But that's OK, I was ready for this and took more shots than usual just to be sure I got some in focus photos, it's a compromise for a lightweight kit.
As for the IQ, well it did very well, most of the photos were taken at f/6.3 and 7.1 to get the fastest shutter speed and shallow DOF to blurr the background. All photos were taken hanheld because I didn't want to carry my tripod this time. SR was helpful at the beginning when the light was not good.
Bad hair day !!!
