Re: Travel Kit

Very nice Dean.

Can't beat the 55-300 PLM for zooming! I love mine too.

You just need to get used to walking on the planet upside down. It can be bit daunting at first

Re: Travel Kit

A nice set, Dean. The bird shots are good, particularly the first. The surfer action shots are great - but the subject was moving towards you, and the lens was at full zoom and open aperture - surely Pentax can't do that!

One suggestion - the second image becomes stronger for me when simplified to a crop of the bottom right keeping the same aspect ratio, just enough cropping to exclude the dark coast top-left and remove some sky. But, of course, to each his own.

Re: Travel Kit

I have two distinct travel kits:

1. (Africa): K5 II, Sigma 70-200 f2.8, Sigma 50-500 HSM OS, Pentax 18-270, Sigma 17-50 f2.8, 8x42 binoculars, spare batteries, pen torch, bigger torch, tripod, IR remote control.

2. Holiday anywhere else: K5 II, Pentax 18-270 & Sigma 17-50 f2.8 (if there are going to be museums on the itinerary).
